John,

It's amazing how one's luck on patterns can be totally different. The Prince (With peacock herl) is one of my staples, and recently, have found that tying some variations (psycho princes or copper princes) works really well too. You can almost always find at least one prince on my nymphing rigs, and at times, I have just tied on two of em because the fish ate them so well. I like tying the bodies in green and purple, or using a copper prince with various colors of copper wiring. (red, green, blue, gold, silver.) Though, my success on copper princes almost makes me wonder if the color even matters.
