Nice job great video. By the way bought a Hyde Drift boat spending 2022 in Montana and Idaho. No doubt we will be throwing a lot of pats rubber legs. 5 months of drifting at age 67 hard to keep a retired central PA boy off the water.
Great content. I prefer to have my legs and chenille extend to the back. You do three wraps with the legs on the side extended a pinch. Tighten the wraps onto the chenille and do three more warps atop the other wraps and it give it so much more wiggle. I also use jigs to lessen the snags. Seems to help.
I love your TH-cam channel. I'm headed to Montana in August. Question: does the Pats Rubber leg the best Fly to take in August to Montana? Other fly pattern?
Not always, but I prefer barbless. I feel that I tend to get better hook penetration and the gap on the jig hooks is slightly larger than on standard hooks. I also find that when I accidentally hook my clothes or pack it's easier to remove. As far as landing fish goes I haven't noticed a major difference but I'm sure that there may be one or two extra fish that may get away. Good question though
I'm really enjoying this series. Now to find this beer...
Glad you decided to demo this pattern. Looks like a winner!!!
Enjoying the series!! Thanks for sharing!!

That into tho..... Definitely gained another subscriber and I don't even fly fish. 😂
Thanks for subscribing, Nate! I had to turn my poor wife's kitchen into a mini film studio to shoot that intro lol

Do you always use barbless hooks? Just curious. I know it tends to be less damaging to the fish but can sometimes result in losing one.

Looks good Doug. Looks a little like a Bitch Creek, only a lot easier to tie.
I want your glasz
