Description

There are countless variants based on the classic prince nymph and this one is a well known one called the Psycho prince, tied up with odd and bright colors that fish simply seem to love. This yellow variant is one of ours and it has brought nice fish to the net across countless freestones here in Colorado from the Roaring Fork Valley out to the Big Thompson. This fly just ticks all the right boxes for trout even if we aren't quite sure what those boxes are. Originally devised to represent stoneflies and little yellow sallies, but it works great as a general searching and attractor pattern across the board. Hook Size 14 and 16 Available.

Field Notes

Use as a general searching nymph for trout in freestone streams and other moving water. It is especially useful when stoneflies or little yellow sallies are present, but it can also serve as an attractor pattern when fish are not keyed on a specific hatch.

Pros

  • Bright attractor profile that can draw strikes
  • Versatile nymph pattern for trout
  • Works well in freestones and general searching situations

Cons

  • May be too flashy in very clear or heavily pressured water
  • Not a match-the-hatch pattern for selective fish
