The Prince Nymph

I am still working my way through Charlie Craven’s book and have finally made it to the Prince Nymph. I have not used this fly a lot myself, but I hear from other fly fisherman that this pattern is just as much of a “go to” as the Pheasant Tail. Created by Doug Prince, this fly is known for being highly effective in both lakes and rivers, especially those areas that have reasonable stone fly populations. After reading about this pattern, I intend to start utilizing it in areas like 11 Mile Canyon.
