Rubber-Legged Evil Weevil

The Evil Weevil is a killer fly for trout and panfish. It's a fly I've been using for over a decade on the streams and rivers I fish and it's been an absolute killer fly pattern. There are quite a few variations of the fly, many coming from the creator of the nymph, Jeremy Davies. This variation replaces the biot legs with a set of rubber (silicone) legs, giving the fly a little more strike inducing movement.

I like to use a silicone strip from a bass skirt for my legs rather than a rubber material. I find that the rubber degrades rather quickly and will become brittle after some sun exposure or a season in the box.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
