View full detailsPat's Rubberleg Stonefly is a simple Stonefly pattern that has fooled trout for decades. And, if you cross tying a Jiggy Pat's Rubberleg while listening to 90's Hip Hop by "2 In the Room" you might get a Jiggy Pat's Rubberleg to "Wiggle it, Just a Little Bit..." It's a terrible song, and music video is worse. That said, the video begins with a guy rowing a drift boat into the ocean while wearing short white shorts. What?!?! Completely random. What's not random is that articulation tends to make "great" even better. This is an interesting next step on a modern take of a classic. We expect this will be our go-to stonefly from now on.

Adding the glass bead imitates the tiny buble of gas the midge uses to float itself from the bottom to the top of the water. Fish this pattern at any depth.

Too often, Stonefly patterns become too fat and disproportionate by adding lead wire underbodies. This multi wired body offers some segmentation using two color wires wrapped together. Fish this pattern below an indicator with Fluorocarbon or in tandem with a Prince Nymph.
