Matt Powell demonstrates how to tie a proven Rogue River swing or nymph style prince nymph variant. We love this style of fly from late August to November on the Rogue River for both adult and “half pounder” steelhead. Adapt this to your favorite trout stream by changing the thorax dub color and hook size.
Check out the new color of Plummeting Tungsten beads on this fly and the entire new selection of mottled tungsten beads here: Plummeting Tungsten Beads.
