Coldwater Finding all of these materials at your desk can be a bit of a hassle, but not to worry. There are a few pieces of this fly that are interchangeable, and won’t disrupt the “wow” factor of this blinged out bug.
Tail: Turkey Biots in the same Brown color can easily take the place of the Goose Biots if necessary.
Rib: Gold Ultra Wire can stand in for the Gold Tinsel, although the tinsel does look better.
Wings: The Large Holographic Tinsel in Silver look the absolute best, but if need be you can use Large Flashabou as a replacement.
The Formerly Known As Prince is a variation of the time old Prince Nymph itself. You can add rubber legs instead of the hackle collar, or along with it. Other than that changing up colors is the only logical variation to this variation.
This bug is essentially a pimped out Prince Nymph. With the classic styling at it’s base, and the flash and popping colors added on top it is sure to get the fish to pay attention through high, dirty runoff water. Not only will it get their attention, but the collar and long flashy wings move about in the water giving the fly a solid swimming motion difficult for any trout to resist. This bug is a high water savior, and has proven itself on many stages no matter how gaudy it looks.
For runoff, after a big rainstorm, or any other elevated off color water situation this fly can be a real savior. Putting it above one or two smaller, more natural bugs is the best way to fish this guy. It will catch their eye, and even if they don’t eat it they may eat one of the other small natural bugs. Although you’d be surprised how quickly the fish will warm up to the Formerly Known As Prince in high water scenarios.
