| The Bead Head Prince Nymph is an
amazing fly. Year after year it is the number one selling pattern
in the country. The snow white goose biots set against the dark
irridescence of peacock keeps the nymph brightly visible to
trout as it drifts in and out of shadows. The heavy brass bead
not only sinks the fly like a rock but gives it a three dimensional
flash.
Why does this fly kick butt when so many other more realistic flies fail? There are as many theories as there are people who fish it. All agree; however, it is an indespensible pattern that makes its home in every guide's flybox across the nation. |
