Tied with vibrant peacock herl for a natural shimmer and buggy silhouette, this pattern does an excellent job imitating both stonefly nymphs and larger mayflies. Its oversized profile and subtle flash make it an ideal attractor pattern, built to pull curious trout from the bottom of deep runs or heavy currents. Tied on size 10 hook.

FAQs

What does the 20 Incher imitate?

The 20 Incher suggests a large stonefly nymph, but its buggy peacock body can also resemble bigger mayfly nymphs and general aquatic food. It is an attractor pattern that gives trout a substantial target near the bottom.

When should I fish the 20 Incher?

Fish it in deep runs, heavy current, pocket water, and higher flows where a larger nymph can get noticed. Stonefly nymphs remain available to trout throughout the year, so this is not limited to a short hatch window.

How should I rig the 20 Incher?

Use it as the heavier fly in an indicator or tight-line nymphing rig and keep it close to the streambed. It can also serve as the point fly with a smaller, more natural nymph trailing behind it.

What size is the 20 Incher?

This version is tied on a size 10 hook. The larger profile is useful when trout are willing to eat a substantial nymph or when you need a fly that stands out in broken or off-color water.

Why does the 20 Incher use peacock herl?

Peacock herl creates natural-looking shimmer and a broken, buggy texture rather than a flat solid color. That combination can suggest several large aquatic insects while giving trout a subtle visual trigger.
