A modern version with bead head originated in the 1930's by Minnesota brothers Don and Dick Olson, and popularized shortly thereafter by western angler Doug Prince for whom it was subsequently named; the Prince Nymph (a.k.a. the Forked Tail Nymph) has long proven not only one of trout angling's most widely and easily recognized fly patterns, but arguably one the deadliest ever created too! An exceptionally effective and much beloved subsurface favorite, and one that no successful trout angler's fly box should ever be without.
