Pat's Rubber Legs
Pat's Rubber Legs is a large, heavily weighted stonefly nymph pattern with rubber legs that pulse and wiggle in current. Built to get down deep in fast water, it is the go-to lead fly for western freestone rivers during salmonfly and golden stonefly pre-hatch periods.

Fishing tips
Fish as the heavy lead fly in a double-nymph rig. Needs enough weight to bounce along rocky bottoms in heavy current.
