One day when I was out West sitting around the house watching a little TV there was a television program running in the background - a story about a Madison River guide out of Ennis who brashly stated "There are days when all I run is a double Prince - that's the only nymph I need". I don't know if I can get that drastic, but he does have a point in that the Prince has proven itself to be one of the classics. There are a million variations of beads, bodies and shapes & sizes but this simple bead head is the one I carry most often. I do like to tie this in much larger sizes - when you need to stick a super Whitefish it's just the ticket!
