Redneck Prince-Beadhead
Like a standard Beadhead Prince Nymph but made using red thread instead of black. The red just behind the bead is where it gets its name.
The Prince Nymph is one of the most famous patterns in the fly fishing industry and has inspired numerous variations. This version might just be the trick when fish are tired of seeing the same Prince pattern repeatedly.

Caught a large brown trout on this fly during a late afternoon drift. The red thread stood out in the current and the fish reacted immediately. A great alternative to the standard Prince.
Isaac Chapman –
Used it in a clear stream and saw a few strikes. The red color seems to catch the attention of fish that are used to black patterns. A little different, but effective.
Paul Payne –
Fished it in a slow-moving creek and got a solid hit. The red bead section really made a difference. Would definitely use it again in similar conditions.
