Doug Prince's
original Prince was tied with black ostrich herl body but I've never seen one that didn't have a peacock herl
body.

Coating the
thread with a flexible but hard cement, like Loon's "Hard Head", will
make the fly last longer, especially if removed from the fish with forceps.

This is one of
the most popular nymphs in the USA. Most
trout anglers wouldn't be without the Prince Nymph in their box.

Peacock Herl.
