Stone Creek™ Ultra Prince – Bead Head
The Stone Creek™ Ultra Prince is a modern attractor variation of the legendary Prince Nymph, combining the proven fish-catching profile of the original pattern with brightly colored wire bodies for enhanced visibility and attraction. Designed to stand out in a variety of water conditions, the Ultra Prince is an excellent searching nymph for trout feeding near the bottom.
Featuring a weighted bead head and vibrant wire body, this pattern quickly reaches productive depths while providing the flash and contrast needed to attract fish in stained water, deep runs, and faster currents. Despite its attractor styling, the Ultra Prince still maintains the buggy profile of a natural aquatic insect, making it effective in both clear and off-color water.

Used the Ultra Prince in a stained river and noticed fish took it immediately. The bright wire body stood out in the dark water, and it stayed on the bottom where trout were feeding. Works well in both fast and slow currents.
Chloe Mackay –
Fished it in deep runs and saw several trout strike. The bead head keeps it down quickly, and the color makes it stand out even in murky water. A solid choice for searching nymphs.
Jane Brown –
Great for both clear and stained water. The natural profile still works well, and the flash helps attract fish in low-visibility conditions. Easy to tie and effective in varied conditions.
