20 Incher

The 20 Incher is a productive stonefly pattern. It works great and tends to be faster and easier to tie than many other stoneflies. Start your thread at the two-thirds point and take it back into the hook bend. I use a small amount of natural squirrel dubbing to create a little dubbing ball where you left your thread at the hook bend. The ball will help the biot tails lift up a little and spread them apart. Secure two goose biots to create a tail on either side of the hook. I'm using a rusty brown, but any darker brown will do. Wrap up to the dubbing ball to get the tails to split and coat the butts moving towards the eye with your thread. Next, tie in a piece of silver oval tinsel on the near side of the hook and secure it back at the base of the tails. Four peacock herls are used for the abdomen. Tie these in at the base of the tails and advance your thread towards the hook eye, ending where you initially started the thread. Take touching wraps of the herls up to your thread, secure them, and remove the balance. Now take open counter-wraps of the tinsel up to the front of the abdomen, secure it, and remove the waste. For the wing case, use 10 to 12 fibers from a pheasant tail and tie it in by the butt ends with the tips extending backward. For the legs, strip the fuzzy feathers from a Hungarian Partridge feather, then grasp it by the tip and stroke the lower fibers down. With the tip separated, tie in the tip on the top center of the hook where the thorax begins. Make sure to tie it in with the underside of the feather facing up. Next, dub your thread with a healthy amount of the natural squirrel dubbing. Create a pronounced thorax with the dubbing, tapering towards the hook eye. Ensure you leave plenty of space behind the hook eye to cleanly finish the fly. Leaving your thread behind the hook eye, bend the partridge feather over the top center of the hook, stroke the fibers backward, and secure it in place by the bare stem. Then remove the stem. Finally, fold the pheasant wing case over the top center of the fly while stroking the partridge fibers backward. Once over the hook eye, secure the pheasant fibers, and remove the excess. Use your thread to create the fly's head, whip finish, and the fly is ready to fish.
