Black Rubber-Legs Sea-Trout Fly
Reaction nymph
Sea troutMid-depth
Black body with rubber legs — a modern French Normandy pattern that imitates nothing in particular but provokes a reaction from fish that have refused the classics.
Fish this when
When classic Normandy nymphs have been refused and you need to show the fish something different.
Why it works
Rubber legs add life-suggesting movement that a dead-drifting traditional nymph can't match.
