Step by Step Prince Nymph

Here is a step by step of the prince nymph, one of my favorite and one of the best searching nymphs around. Hope you all like it

















Looks really nice. Thanks for posting the step-by-step.

Thanks. My supply of these is about used up and I believe I’m going to use your step-by-step tonight to tie up a few. :slight_smile:

Nice SBS. I agree that’s a good goto fly for about any species.

Nice and thanks for posting - is there a trick to getting the tail biots to stick out so nicely?

I don’t think I’ve ever tied in “wing” biots facing forward and then pulled them back over themselves. Assuming that the biots are flexible enough so they don’t break or crack when you do this, that’s a really nice technique.

All I do (you can see in the picture) is make sure they are linbed up evenly and tied in at the right angle

Many people seem to have never seen the technique. I have yet to have any biots crack or break and for some reason (could be just me) it seems to make the fly and biots more durable when tied that way

And sure as shootin’ easier for me to get the placement right…thanks for that

One possible aid in getting the biot pairs to align themselves properly is to pre-assemble the pairs with crazy glue.:smiley:

Was thinking the same thing.

if you moisten the biots, it’s a lot easier.

Scott

I use the biots right out the package and rarely ever have one break
