12 Bead Head Prince Nymph Selection – Mixed Sizes #10–#18
A convenient mixed dozen of Bead Head Prince Nymphs in five popular sizes. Stock your fly box with this proven trout pattern, with sizes ranging from #10 through #18 to cover a variety of fishing conditions.
Description
The Prince Nymph is a classic trout fly and a staple in the fly boxes of experienced nymph anglers. Its distinctive profile, contrasting materials and bead head make it an excellent searching pattern when trout are feeding below the surface.
This mixed dozen includes five different hook sizes, giving you the flexibility to adjust your presentation based on water depth, current speed and trout activity.
The bead head adds weight to help the fly sink toward the bottom, making it a useful choice for deeper runs, pocket water and multi-fly nymph rigs.
Why Fish the Bead Head Prince Nymph?
-
Classic Trout Pattern: A proven searching nymph for a wide range of trout fishing situations.
-
Bead Head Weight: Helps get the fly down into deeper feeding lanes.
-
Five Hook Sizes: Gives you options for matching different conditions and natural food sizes.
-
Versatile Presentation: Effective under an indicator or as part of a multi-fly nymph rig.
-
All-Season Utility: A dependable pattern to keep available throughout the fishing season.
How to Fish It
Fish the Prince Nymph near the bottom, where trout commonly feed on drifting aquatic insects. It works well as a single nymph or as part of a two-fly setup.
Use the larger sizes in deeper water or when larger nymphs are present. Switch to smaller sizes when trout become selective or when fishing lower, clearer water.
Capt. Ken’s Guide Tips
The Prince Nymph is a great searching pattern when you need a dependable fly and aren't certain exactly what the trout are feeding on. I like having several sizes available so I can adjust the presentation to the depth and speed of the water.
Try it as the upper fly on a two-nymph rig, or use it as the point fly when you need additional weight to reach deeper water.
