I have to say, You create some of the most enjoyable Fly tying videos I have come across so far. The quality of audio and the up close video of the fly are top notch. Leaps and bounds beyond any other (and believe me in saying I have viewed quite a few) video I have come across. Thank you for your time and effort for it is very appreciated.
The prince nymph is so productive for me, thanks for the tip on anchoring the white goose biots.
Thanks for the tip on the white biots. You rock.
I would really enjoy hearing about the history of these classic patterns, what they imitate (or we think they do), and the background info of different patterns.
Great 'Prince' James...and thanks for subscribing! Best Chris Sandford.
I like the instruction you provide, very helpful and clearly explained. Thanks!
dude you have hands downt he most helpful tying videos on youtube. thansk for all the help
Caught my biggest trout on a Prince. Great video!
OUTSTANDING - i think this fly has to be a top-10 to have in your flybox - next to the Woolly Bugger, I believe i have had the most success with the Prince Nymph.
some folks gasp at the price of a good vise. unfortunately it`s the price of quality. The indexer is sweet but a bit more than I could justify. I have the barracuda jr. Does everything I could ask especially after getting used to using the rotary function with confidence. Although it was a couple bills I`m quite happy with my purchase and it travels well. Buy a nice vise...buy quality tools..it will pay off in the long run. ty for the vids. Your approach to instruction is calm and reassuring. And your way to tie down counter wraps was a god send. Keep up the good work and tight lines
Thanks very much, looking forward to tying my own now.
nicely filmed and great voice over. thanks!
Great film brilliant step by step information thanks mate.
It certainly can be, but with adjacent wraps of peacock herl, the more open spiral wraps of wire are crossing over it rather that sinking down between the herls. In other words, the wire is still containing and protecting the herl. Counterwraps can have their own problems, but they are simple enough to fix. See our American Pheasant Tail Nymph video.
What size thread are you using?
Nice tying lesson thanks.
Perfect cop. Thanks master🙏🙏
I currently use a Dyna-King Ultimate Indexer and love it, but it is more vise than most people need, it's also a bit pricy. That said, an inexpensive vise that will last a lifetime is going to be tough to find. My advice is to try as many as you can before buying and then get the best you can possibly afford, it will be worth it in the end. Cheap vises that don't hold hooks securely are a royal pain and can even be dangerous.
My father had a Thompson A vise and it has 2 sizes of jaws. That was in the 1960's. It still works fine today. Lee Wulff could tie flies w/out a vise. A great vise will not make a great tyer. Just my opinion. Practice practice practice.
love it
worked good for brown trout and a nymphing rod.
very nice nymph :)
@tightlinevideo, I am tying a prince nymph on a jig hook. Have you seen a difference between tying the jig upside down or not? I've seen prince jigs tied upside down but am unaware how big a difference it really makes due to the nymph drifting through fast currents. If you tied this pattern on a jig hook, which method would you use? Thanks, and thanks for all your videos, they're the best.
Will worth. Watchig again
What size bead did you use? Nice tie by the way.. easy to follow you!!
Here's a trick... wrap the herl around the thread and then form the body for a really tough fly. Also, tie in the white biots and fold the ends over the back, then cut off. You should be able to get less thread build up behind the bead that way.
It's a great tie; thanks for the video. I think I already know the answer but is that a brass bead? I'm used to tungsten but it would be a very heavy fly with a tungsten bead and lead wire!
Wow, the dyna-king is expensive! ($500) Thank you for your response. It's above my price range but I'll shoot for something in $125-$150. I understand what you're trying to say here. Thank you for your response.
perfekt its very great.
Jay, try a Regal, its the first vice I ever bought, have tied size 22 midges to 4/0 striper flies, the retail around 160-170 from Cabelas and probably cheaper from ebay, Ive used renzetti, dyna-king, nor-vise, griffin, peak, Thompson...all excellent, but offer nothing substantial over the Regal, mine is a standard, C-Clamp Non rotary, Regal offers all types though..check them out
what kind of camera do you use for the close up shots?
Could you please repeat the name of the brown hackle that you are using. Looks great.
Prince Nymph? I've met a couple of those in my time!
Can i use this video on my website?????
Great video by the way!!!!!!!
Would this fly work with a size 14 hook in a green, red or blue abdonen. I enjoy all you vids please keep it up, Thanks Guy
R I P Prince!
Hey tightens! Love the videos been watching for a while. Just wondering. I recently started tying this pattern and compared my pattern to a store bought one. I looked and saw that the "horns" were on the bottom of both of the flies that I bought. Is this just another way to tie this? If so are there any advantages?
solobeats7 Never seen that before, unless the flies you purchased were on a jig hook which rides upside down with the hook point up. I can't imagine the fish would care which side they're on, it's just easier to tie with the horns on top.
Ahh thats it! Thanks so much! Keep up the amazing videos!

Where can I find the brown neck? I've been looking on JStockard... Not sure what price range I should be looking for. I have found it on Orvis, but don't particularly like their fly tying materials. Thanks.
Try using brown India hen back. The mottled appearance only adds to the attractiveness of this fly.
Мушка огонь.
Should the wire be counter-wrapped?
What vise are you using? What would you recommend as an inexpensive vise a beginner could have 'for a lifetime'? Thank you for making your videos so clear, they're a great help.
Very late, but he uses a variety of vises. He has regals and dynakings. I'd recommend the renzetti traveler 2000. It's a full rotary vise, and can hold hooks from a size 28 up to a 4/0, and comes in at 189.99. It has a lifetime warranty and you can buy the parts separately in case something breaks or the jaws get bent.
Can you help me with the brown neck. What brand and material are you using? Thanks it will be greatly appreciated
Could you please put a list of materials you used in the description of the video? I tie myself and I wish to be as good as you I just get so confused going to the fly section and don’t know what to get it’s quite intimidating
Where do I get the all the material and tools for making flies, please help thanks
Can you use turkey biots in place of goose?
Could you give the materials you use prior to starting your videos?
It’s all in bio
works good without the extra biots at the top too
ah the good 'ol days when you still used lead wire
I am new to tying and have many of the tools. What would you recommend I do for all the materials without spending a ton of money?
Good luck on that one. I've learned that going cheap means inferior materials. Specific feathers have specific characteristics, and so do many of the synthetic materials. Good luck
What sizes and stuff
I kinda disagree. Nice thin dry fly hackle is the right stiffness for the collar. Use the bases of your saddle opposed to the top half you use for drys.
Is size 12/0 thread ok? I meant to purchase 8/0 and now that I'm looking at it, it's 12/0
Brett Forbes well, it's perfectly ok, but good luck tying a fly without the thread breaking.
