McFlyLures 0 Report post Posted August 11, 2022 Pat Bennett originally created the Pat's Rubber Legs which has turned into one of those patterns that is everywhere. Every fly shop has them for sale, and just about every fisherman on a river has some in their box. They are a fairly easy and quick fly to tie, which is kind of rare for a stonefly imitation. Stonefly patterns tend to be somewhat complicated. There are very few guide style (easy to tie) stonefly patterns, and I would suggest that the pats rubber legs might be the easiest of them all. So the original way of tying these flies is how I did in this video, with each leg individually tied in. Some people have trouble with this technique for some reason. So next week I am going to make another pats rubber legs but with a different technique I saw on Tight Lines Productions. That one uses resin to attach all 3 legs at the same time. Check back next week for that video. Gonna be honest, Im not really sure if this is actually The original way, as its just the way I used to do it. Next week will be a new technique I saw. https://youtu.be/BVMfXAbwkuY Materials ______________ Hook: Risen 300's (size 10) Weight: Lead Wire (.015) Thread: Veevus 6/0 (brown) Legs: Bug Legs or spanflex (brown) Body: Varigated Chenille (brown/yellow) Head Cement: Solarez Ultra Thin UV Resin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
