Pat’s Rubber Legs 01/12/2026 Photo Album

My first introduction to Pat’s rubber legs was through Royal Gorge Anglers and a yellow/green version to imitate the golden stoneflies, when they molt in early spring. My post of 01/17/2016 is a solid read to understand this phase of my rubber legs evolution.

Arkansas Rubber Legs

As time passed I became acquainted with additional color combinations of Pat’s rubber legs. My post of 01/10/2020 provides a nice update and a materials table. I have experienced mixed results with the rubber legs, but one day on the Arkansas River stands out, when the flows remained on the high side after run off. During this outing I could barely keep the trout off the fly.

Olive/Black

My guide from Cutthroat Angers, Reed, is a huge proponent of the fly; and, thus, I use it in a dry/dropper set up, when I float Colorado Rivers with him. Most recently it work on a late June day on the Eagle River.

Coffee/Black

As was the case with scuds, I counted my supply of rubber legs of varying colors, and I concluded that I was adequately supplied. I carry the yellow/orange/light green version for stonefly molt time, and then I also possess a black/olive color scheme and a black/coffee version. I do not use beads but instead weight them while tying.
