The Prince Nymph is one of the most popular classic style nymphs that can imitate a lot of what a trout (or any other fish) eats. I've wanted to tie a jig streamer style version of it for a while and finally bit the bullet to give it a try. On my second cast using the pattern, it scored a fish and has been a solid producer since. The nice thing is you can double time your tying sessions to churn out the standard Prince Nymphs at the same time. Obviously not a ton of differences here other than the hook, bead type and marabou but it's a killer pattern. You can fish this in a standard Euro setup as a single streamer or throw it on a your standard streamer rig.
