Jimmy-Legs go on before my underwear in the morning! I seriously tell clients that.
These were just random shots from 3 days of guiding in March, but Jimmy turned regular fly fishermen and women into bragging status. Clients put a lot of fish in the boat, and Jimmy was top fly and has been all month for me.
Jimmy in Sizes 10, 8 and 6 and Dk Brown, Coffee /Black, and Rusty Olive (green variegated) performed best. The green is wicked around rock structure! The Jimmy Legs fishes well for the entire area I guide which is on the Lower Sac. Between Redding and Los Molinos, over 50 nautical miles. Jimmy legs curved hook helps to keep fish pinned in my opinion, and just looks and fishes better…period! I think the video says it all.
You Bay Area folks looking to get your hands on a few can order your Jimmy Legs right off the California Fly Shop site to make sure you are ready before heading out. Remember put your Jimmy-Legs on before you put your underwear on!
