20 Incher 11/29/2023 Photo Album

The 20 incher has evolved as a workhorse fly from my fly box, especially during the early spring season, when I desire deep drifts on an indicator nymph set up. I weight all my 20 inchers, and that, combined with the heavy wire 2X long hook produces a fly that sinks rapidly. I like to pair a 20 incher with an RS2 in the early going.

I encourage the reader to click on this 11/24/2020 report on the 20 incher, as it contains additional links to older posts with a materials table and background information on my introduction to this classic fly created in Colorado.

When I counted my 20 incher supply, I realized that I needed to tie two more to increase my inventory to my desired level. I tied two additional models for my friend.
