20 Incher Stonefly Nymph

This 20 Incher Stone Fly Nymph pattern imitates a general range of stone flies. This Twenty Incher originated in the Western Colorado are but can be fished wherever stone flies are present. It is best fished in slower waters. Depending on the hook size, it can also be used to imitate a mayfly nymph.

In streams or rivers, this pattern can be presented in a number of ways the most successful being a cast up stream like a dry fly and then allowing it to dead drift drag free, keep in contact with your line. Alternatively, allow the nymph to sink slowly to the bottom just above the vegetation it often seeks and slowly raise the line on the drift, through the water table to attract attention.

A slight variation on this is to actually tighten up the line or pull the line as your nymph approaches the lie of a fish you are sight fishing, and this will imitate the natural movement of the nymph through the water table.

All flies are tied with American sourced materials including Hareline Dubbin Materials and Whiting Farm's Hackles & Capes and are tied on premium hooks.
