✨ Prince Nymph ✨

A true royal in the world of trout flies 👑🐟. The Prince Nymph is a classic attractor pattern, known for its striking contrast of white goose biots, peacock herl body, and gold ribbing. Its bead head gives it just the right weight to get down into the strike zone quickly.

What makes it special?

It doesn’t perfectly imitate one insect — instead, it mimics many: stonefly nymphs, caddis pupae, and even mayfly nymphs. This versatility makes it a year-round confidence fly that fish can’t resist.

🎣 Pro Tip: Try different sizes depending on water conditions. Smaller sizes work well for finicky trout in clear water, while larger versions shine in faster, murkier runs.
