Prince Nymph

The Prince Nymph is a classic attractor pattern known for its bold profile and remarkable versatility. Rather than imitating a single insect, it suggests a mix of stonefly nymphs, caddis larvae, and general underwater forage, making it a reliable producer in rivers and stillwaters alike.

Built with contrasting materials—typically brown biot tails, peacock‑herl body, ribbing for durability, and white biot wings—the fly offers a striking silhouette that grabs a trout’s attention. A soft hackle collar or beadhead is often added to enhance movement and help the fly sink quickly. Whether fished as a lead fly in a nymph rig or drifted tight to structur   the Prince Nymph remains a confidence pattern for anglers year‑round.
