Prince Nymph Fly

Tied by Umpqua Feather Merchants.

Developed sometime between the late 1930s and early 1940s in Monterey California by Doug Prince, the appropriately named Prince Nymph is a fly with popularity that has spread from the west coast all across the globe. This nymph was originally created to imitate immature stoneflies found in swift water, but not long after its inception, it was found that the Prince Nymph could imitate a range of aquatic insects such as various mayfly and damselfly nymphs. However, the Prince Nymph, with its bold peacock body and white wings, has really been proven to shine as an attractor nymph whenever you’re just not sure what the fish are keyed in on.  

Effective in a range of sizes from 8 all the way down to 20, the Prince Nymph was made to excel in moving water and is a productive fly to fish underneath of an indicator, high sticked, or even stripped upstream; however, that doesn’t mean that the Prince Nymph won’t catch fish in stillwater all the same. Whether it’s your point fly in a multi-nymph rig or just your go-to nymph that’s packed with confidence, the Prince Nymph is one that should have a dedicated spot in all of our nymphing boxes. 

Sizes Available:

10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20
