The ReelFlies® Steelhead Princess Nymph is a high-attraction classic that blends the proven silhouette of a Prince-style nymph with extra flash and colour to wake up even the most reluctant steelhead.

This pattern features a bright, flashy body that throws off light in deep or slightly coloured water, helping fish key in on the fly from a distance. The signature white biot wings create a bold trigger point and suggest legs and wing buds, while the orange biot tail adds a subtle hotspot that often seals the deal when steelhead are following but not committing.

A soft brown hackle collar breathes and pulses in the current, giving the fly natural movement and life on the drift. Finished with a gold bead head, the Princess Nymph sinks quickly to reach the strike zone, making it ideal for fast runs, slots, and tailouts where steelhead hold tight to the bottom.

Fish it under an indicator, tight-line it Euro style, or run it as your lead fly in a two-fly setup to draw attention and let a more subtle dropper follow. It’s equally effective for Pacific and Great Lakes steelhead, as well as trophy rainbow and brown trout.

When you need a fly that combines tradition, flash, and proven fish-catching power, the Steelhead Princess Nymph earns a permanent spot in your box.
