Here we will be tying the well known pattern Prince. The Prince Nymph has been around since 1930's or about when Doug Prince came up with it. Doug is from Oakland California. Earlier and the actual first version of the fly was from Don and Dick Olson, brother from Minnesota. Originally the fly was called Brown Forked Tail, and it had ostrich in the body instead of the peacock. The Prince Nymph is indeed among TOP10 flies of all time, and goes there with flies like Pheasant Tail, Zug Bug and more heavyweight patterns.
The fly is a great option for both stream and lake fishing. The fly catches both brown trout and arctic char. Simple to tie and totally worth keeping a few in your box when you go fishing.
