Sometimes two different but related topics on different FF Bulletin Boards just seem made for each other. It turns out that what we think of as the Prince Nymph is not what Doug Prince called a Prince Nymph.

Fishtooth posted a wonderful SBS for what I always considered a Prince Nymph. This is another nymph that Doug Prince invented which he called the Brown Fork Tail Nymph.

Gene Trump of fly fishing cartoon fame posted the quiz below on the history of the original Prince Nymph on another BB. I hope there is no rule against cross posting from other BB's. In the post below is the original prince nymph tied according to Doug Prince.
