Bead Head Royal Prince Nymph
This Royal Prince Bead Head pattern is an all season pattern and a searching, or attractor pattern. This Royal Prince Bead Head pattern can be fished in all bodies of water. Many categorize this pattern as a hybrid between the classic Prince Nymph and the Royal Coachman.
In streams or rivers, this pattern can be presented in a number of ways the most successful being a cast up stream like a dry fly and then allowing it to dead drift drag free, keep in contact with your line. Alternatively, allow the nymph to sink to the bottom just above the vegetation it often seeks and slowly raise the line on the drift, through the water table to attract attention. A slight variation on this is to actually tighten up the line or pull the line as your nymph approaches the lie of a fish you are sight fishing, and this will imitate the natural movement of the nymph through the water table.
