If You Could Only Have One Nymph, This Is It.
Ask any seasoned fly angler, and they'll tell you the Prince Nymph is a non-negotiable part of their arsenal. It's not just a fly; it's a solution.
What it imitates:
The magic of the Prince Nymph is that it doesn't imitate just one thing—it suggests everything. Its profile can be mistaken by fish for a variety of food sources, from stonefly nymphs and mayfly nymphs to caddis pupae. This is why it's called an "attractor"; it simply looks buggy, alive, and edible.
Why it works this season:
Unlike specific hatch-matching flies, the Prince Nymph is a year-round producer. It excels in autumn and winter as a general searching pattern when insect activity is low. Its flashy bead and contrasting colors stand out in the water, demanding attention from fish looking for an opportunistic meal.
When to use it:
Use it anytime, anywhere. It's the perfect fly for "prospecting" a new stretch of river when you're unsure what the fish are eating. It shines in fast-flowing riffles, deep pools, and pocket water.
How to rig it:
The Prince Nymph is the ultimate team player.
- As the Anchor: In a Euro Nymph or indicator rig, use the Prince Nymph as your heavy bottom fly (the "point fly"). Its weight will get your entire rig down to the feeding zone.
- As the Dropper: Trail it 16-20 inches behind a larger, heavier fly like our Tungsten Jig Hook Woolly Bugger.
- Paired with Finesse: For a deadly combination, use the Prince Nymph as your point fly and tie our non-beadhead Epoxy Chironomid Pupa on a dropper tag above it. The Prince gets the rig down, while the Chironomid dances naturally just above the riverbed.
