From caddis larvae to baetis nymphs, I view the Prince nymph as the Adams of the nymphing world.įavorite Nymphs for Trout – Sow Bug, Utah Killer, Glo-Bug, Walt’s Wormĥ. Instead, it looks like it could pass for a lot of different nymphs. The prince nymph doesn’t look like anything in particular.
And, you’ll find it at virtually ever fly shop in the world. Prince Nymph: this is another old-school pattern, but just like the hare’s ear, it’s on this list because it still works. The hotspot thread collar and bright pink dubbing combine to make this a fly that has all the bin appeal fly shops could want, but with all the efficacy anglers need.Ĥ. That Frenchie caught so many fish that by the end of the day, it was just a few strands of pheasant tail wrapped around a hook. I was floating with a guide, who tied it on underneath a cicada. Frenchie: the first time I ever used the Frenchie was on Utah’s Green River. And, it’s another fly that’s incredibly easy to tie, making it one of the patterns I recommend most for beginning tiers.ģ. The hare’s ear has an extra bit of sparkle to it thanks to the gold ribbing, flashback wing case, and a bead, and I think this all works together very well to catch trout’s attention. It’s still around because, much like the pheasant tail and the elk hair caddis, it just works. Hare’s Ear: the hare’s ear is an old-school pattern that doesn’t seem to get the love I think it deserves these days. Add a tungsten bead on the top for extra weight, and you have the makings of a dry-dropper rig ready to go.Ģ. For most of my trout fishing, I use red or black zebra midges tied in sizes 16 through 20. It’s incredibly easy to tie, you can add subtle tweaks to the design to really catch a fish’s eye, and every fly shop in the world has a healthy stock of these bad boys on hand. This thing just flat-out catches fish all the time, in any water condition, and for virtually any trout. Favorite Trout Nymphs- Zebra Midge, Hare’s Ear, Frenchie, Prince Nymphġ.Zebra Midge: if I had to pick just one nymph to fish with for the rest of my life, it’d be the zebra midge.
