The Mega Prince is a great fly developed by Dan Delekta. It’s the perfect high water fly and imitates a buggy stonefly nymph. The Mega Prince is best fished as the lead fly on a nymph rig. This fly has a lot of movement to it. The rubber legs and marabou tail allow for the fly to pulse and move in the water. A great western stonefly nymph imitation and a must have when you visit the west!!
Now let’s see what you can do. #avidmaxflytyers

The colors in the recipe are not consistent with the picture provided. Having given tying lessons over the past 30 yrs, I’ve found this to be a stumbling block for new tiers.
