Prince [beadhead] nymph
The prince nymph is a searching pattern. It is a great pattern to use when fishing new waters or when you are unsure what the trout are eating. In still or moving waters, the Prince Nymph is always a good fly to start with.Try stripping this pattern with rapid jerks in still waters and lakes. Small split shot can be added to achieve more depth. This pattern is also available without a bead head.
