Fly Tying: Pat's Rubber Leg

[@tellicooutfitters8989]

Great video. This is the easiest way to tie in the legs on a Pat's that I have seen yet. Very well done!

[@skylerhardman1227]

Thanks!

[@santaellamedia7077]

i agree. thanks for the vid

[@schmoonkie]

Very nicely done. After tying a bunch using Lance Egan's version, I'm going to use this to tie some more. I especially liked how you handled the legs... nice and simple.

[@skylerhardman1227]

Thank you!

[@robhicklin2139]

Excellent presentation. Clear, precise. Thanks.

[@skylerhardman1227]

Thank you!

[@dbmolloy4603]

Very clear! Thanks Skyler!!

[@skylerhardman1227]

Thank you!

[@HienNguyen-lk8rm]

Really helpful! Love making them in varied chenille colors and legs!!

[@skylerhardman1227]

Awesome, if you're fishing for browns try a purple body with brown legs. Doesn't work everywhere, but the places where it does it slays.

[@bruceacphoto5240]

That was a terrific demo Skyler tyvm!

[@skylerhardman1227]

Thanks!

[@mlrabela]

Thanks, nice clear & concise tutorial. I've "winged it" with these and they're OK, but I'm glad I watched this -- they'll be better now.

[@skylerhardman1227]

Glad to hear it! Tight lines!

[@larryelkington4639]

Nice job, thanks for the tip on the legs, much easier to tie that way.

[@skylerhardman1227]

Thanks, and no problem!

[@gregsmith8049]

Best Video out there on tiring a Pats!

[@skylerhardman1227]

Thanks!

[@Lathan308]

Nice, I hate tying these because of the legs! Never seen them tied to that way before. Great way I'm getting some of them tied up today.

[@skylerhardman1227]

Yeah, I was asked to tie over 100 dozen of these a few years ago. I learned one leg at a time as well and it was taking so long I was regretting taking the job. Then I tried them all together to save time, and I like how it looks even better as well. I hope to change your mind on this fly because it's a great one!

[@mountaincreekfliesjimmy8386]

Really enjoyed this lesson thank you sir

[@skylerhardman1227]

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it!

[@williamwilde6046]

Nice fly. A materials list would be helpful.

[@skylerhardman1227]

Thanks! If you go to the video description there is a list of everything I used in the video. Tight lines!

[@gonnaknowmyname]

Materials list almost always in description on tutorial videos m8!

[@MrGenopv1]

These work well on Bass and Bluegill as well. I fished them yesterday in a pond and was amazed at how well they did....But maybe I just got lucky :-)

[@skylerhardman1227]

I'm glad to hear it! I tied flies for a guy in Texas and he used rubber legs for bass with good results as well so I totally it. Thanks for the info!

[@LymanSheba]

Bravo

[@skylerhardman1227]

Thanks!

[@MrLSwanson]

Love this pattern and video. What is the Hook type, maker and size used here? Thank you.

[@skylerhardman1227]

Lorenzo Swanson Thank you Lorenzo, I love this fly too. The hook is a Dai-Riki 4xl steamer hook (#700). On most of my videos I put a list in the description of what I used in the video which should help if you have any more questions about materials, but feel free to ask anything, I'll do my best to help out. Tight lines!

[@brianambrose3128]

Great video Skyler! What is the name of the material that you are using for the legs called?

[@skylerhardman1227]

Flex floss

[@kenm8955]

hey Skyler I noticed you didn't put in the light tan under belly. Don't you use it anymore?

[@skylerhardman1227]

Yes I still do. In this video I'm demonstrating the traditional rubber leg. I'm planning on releasing an updated video with the tan belly to replace my old video. As you can probably tell, the video quality changed quite a bit between the two. My old video is still available for now though.

[@kenm8955]

@@skylerhardman1227 I agree the video quality is excellent!
