Description

The Prince Nymph was originally developed in the 1930s by Doug Prince of Monterey, California, though some sources suggest it was initially tied by brothers Don and Dick Olson and later modified and popularized by Prince. With its distinctive white biot wings and peacock body, the pattern was intended to imitate a wide range of aquatic insects, including stonefly nymphs and attractor nymphs that trigger curiosity strikes. It's not a precise imitation but a highly effective suggestive pattern that excels in fast, broken water—especially in Western rivers.

Pro Tip
