These are great. If you wish to create your own, you can get leg cutters that work extremely well here. http://riverroadcreations.com/HopperLegs.htm J A complete set costs $39.95 and you can use whatever foam color, touched up with Permapen you wish. Or, as Pete says, you can buy them from Lively Legz pre-made. I agree with him, legs on my flies seem to add a bit more action in this form than simple knotted legs. Thanks for the update. Joyce
