Re: [VFB] Lively legz
I like the way they look on stones and some nymphs. Not so much on the midges. I might have to try these for some stoneflies.

Re: [VFB] Lively legz
Apologies, I didn't mean for it to come out poorly, I meant no disrespect. Only wanted to see if we were speaking of the same thing is all. I've used hopper legs from River Roads and have had great success with them, when tied as hopper legs. I think I'll give it a try for tying in foam, short, to make nymph legs from them. I'm always open to new ideas and I admit I never would have thought of that had you not mentioned it.
