Pat's Rubber Leg Stone

Pat’s Rubber Leg Stonefly Nymph

Pat’s Rubber Leg Stone is one of the most popular modern stonefly attractor patterns used today. An evolution of the original Girdle Bug, this proven fly is designed to imitate large stonefly nymphs with lifelike rubber leg movement and a heavily buggy profile that consistently triggers aggressive strikes from trout and other gamefish.

Built for fast water, deep runs, riffles, and pocket water, Pat’s Rubber Leg Stone excels anywhere trout are feeding near the bottom on larger aquatic insects. Its active movement and highly visible profile make it an outstanding searching nymph in rivers, freestone streams, and tailwaters.
