Like The Gold Bead Pheasant Tail Nymph, the Gold Bead Prince is a meat and potatoes trout nymph you don’t want to be without. They imitate a number of different trout insects and will work anywhere you fly fish for trout.
Buy the Prince Nymph online or buy the materials to start tying it yourself. Any angler worth their salt needs to have tied at least one Beadhead Prince Nymph.
