The Fly Formerly Known As Prince
The Fly Formerly Known As Prince might be a play on pop culture, but it's definitely no joke...this fly catches fish! I've caught some incredible wild browns on this pattern. It seems to work best from fall through spring, when water temps are colder and it takes a little extra flash to get a sluggish trout to strike. I tie these in sizes 12-18, weighted and unweighted.
Here's the materials used to tie the fly in this video:
