FLY DETAILS
20 Incher
The 20 incher is a beefed-up variation of the classic Prince Nymph, designed to imitate large stonefly nymphs and other big aquatic insects. With a heavily weighted body, biot tails, and plenty of buggy profile, it gets down fast and stays in the strike zone. Ideal for deep runs, fast water, or as the anchor fly in a two-nymph rig, this pattern is a proven producer when targeting big trout - especially in freestone rivers and during stonefly activity.

PRESENTATIONS -
Nymph Rig >
Fishes well year-round in a Nymph Rig, especially when presented near the bottom. It can be used as either the lead or dropper fly, but is most often tied on as the larger lead fly to help get your rig down and attract attention in deeper runs.
Dry Dropper Nymph >
Fished in tandem with a highly visible dry fly acting as an indicator, this setup allows the nymph to suspend higher in the water column - ideal for targeting trout feeding just below the surface on emerging insects or drifting nymphs. A deadly combination during hatch transitions or in shallow riffles.
