King Prince - Aaron Caldwell (December 13, 2009)
A client of mine once bragged of the success he had with this fly so I vowed I would try it. Turns out to be one of my go to small nymphs now. What does it look like???? FOOD. The King could be anything; caddis pupa, mayfly, or boatman. Who knows? The fish of the Bow like it for certain. I tie it with a tungsten bead to assure quick descent when using it below a hopper.Materials
