This variation of the classic Prince Nymph uses Ice Dub from Hareline Dubbin and is a great pattern for imitating green drake nymphs in the Willamette Valley, McKenzie River region of Oregon.

Awesome– I’ve never fished ’em that big before… I’ll give it a try– looks like it will make a great lead fly to sink some smaller stuff and move some fish to it
I tie a tiny #16 bh prince nymph with the peacock black ice dub for winter fishing and it’s been stellar
Awesome tye like to tye my with a tmc 200r,just like the bend in my flies,but starting using ice dub peacock makes a stronger fly,and looks awesome to.
This fly works great out East (N. Georgia) when the water is running high and a little stained. Like they say “Go big or go home”
