Overview

The Umpqua Jigged Prince is a tactical reinvention of the classic Prince Nymph, offering the same timeless effectiveness with modern upgrades suited for today’s advanced nymphing techniques. Tied on a barbless jig hook with a heavy tungsten bead, this version is designed to sink quickly and ride hook-up, making it ideal for Euro-nymphing, tightline rigs, or as an anchor in a two-fly setup. The classic profile—complete with biot tails, peacock herl body, and white goose biot wings—delivers a natural, buggy silhouette that trout can’t resist.

What sets this version apart is the jig-style hook and the optimized weight, allowing it to drop directly into the strike zone and track naturally along the bottom without excessive drag or snagging. Its durable construction and timeless appeal make it a versatile option across seasons, hatches, and water types. Whether you're fishing fast mountain streams, deep riffles, or technical tailwaters, the Jigged Prince remains a dependable nymph that consistently produces results.Read More +
