Purple Prince Nymph Fly Tying Tutorial

The Purple Prince Nymph offers a bold twist on a timeless classic, adding flash and contrast to any nymph collection. Its striking deep purple body, accented with black hackle and characteristic biot tails, effectively imitates various aquatic insects. This pattern also serves as an excellent attractor, particularly in stained water or when standing out from "natural" flies during a large hatch.
