AMBER WING DICTATOR
DESCRIPTION
Looking to tie a modern, buggy twist on the classic Prince Nymph? Meet the Amber Wing Dictator, a creative and effective pattern from Hogan Brown. This fly swaps the traditional peacock herl body for hare’s ear dubbing and features distinctive amber goose biot wings, giving it a more natural, suggestive profile while keeping that iconic silhouette that fish love.
In this video, we take you step-by-step through how to tie the Amber Wing Dictator—a fly that’s not only easy to tie but also incredibly effective for trout in rivers, creeks, and even stillwater. Whether you're nymphing under an indicator, tightlining, or using it as a dropper below a dry fly, this pattern deserves a spot in your fly box.
