The other night I read about tying fine rubber legs to standard nymph

fish any better than the standard nymph patterns?

I doubt it. Look at an actual nymph. Does it look like it has rubber
legs? No. This is something to catch fishermen, not fish.



That's one of the reasons I posted the question. They don't look like
an actual nymph. But I wondered if this was one of those crazy things
that fish go after, even though it doesn't resemble anything "real" in
their world. Thanks.




I think that sometimes trout respond to a "super stimulus" -- something
that exaggerates a natural feature. I just don't think that rubber legs
on a nymph work that way. I may be wrong.
