Yea it works and no the legs arent a problem. These flies work excellent, I wouldn't post if they didn't lol!! IMO this is an excellent looking pattern and works f'ing awesome! Look at Murray's pattern, he got tons of love for it and the legs are twice as long as the body lol!! I tie all my boatman patterns with long legs and cut them as the situation would require. Go back and look at the first picture in the thread, boatman with shorter legs. I cant speak for everybody but Ive never used a better/more productive boatman pattern than the one i tie. This is also a really small fly which makes the legs look big.

Here is a fly that I've had great success with either on a sink or floating line, they smash this fly most of the time so I upgrade my tippet.

 

Al, is that a version of an ULTIMATE BOATMAN? It looks like a foam body coated with a lacquer of some kind.
