Featured Fly - Hot Collar Prince Nymph

This featured fly is nothing, new, or innovative, its just a simple twist to a fly that has been working for centuries. I added a hot collar to it, and tied it on a 2499spbl, and for whatever reason, on the not so "hot" days this winter, I have had great success with it.
