The Nymph Formerly Known as Prince
Hook: Tiemco 2457, 2xs Scud hook
Size: 16-18
Bead: 2 mm, gold
Thread: 8/0 olive
Tail: Goose biot, brown
Body: Peacock herl
Rib: Gold wire
Wing: Goose biot, white
Collar: Hungarian partridge
Notes: While this nymph attracts more than its share of Whitefish on tailwaters, it does a great job on Trout in many freestone streams. I like to use it without a bead as a dropper on small streams if the fish aren't quiet ready to eat off the surface.
