Can anyone tell me about tying the Hot Wire Prince Nymph? Specifically, is the body a base of wire ribbed with a different color wire or is it two different colored wires tied parallel to each other ( like the moose mane body on a mosquito)?
Thanks and I would also like to hear from anyone who has tried these flies.

Dan-
While I have not fished or tied these, it looks like 2 wires tied parallel to each other. Probably wrapped at the same time. If you go to this Cabela's link:

Have fun tyin'

you guys got it, you tie in the two different colors of copper one in front of the other and then wrap them forward at the same time (just like on a mosquito Danbou). It may take you a try or two to get the wires tied in and not cause a hump at the tie in point, but you will get it.
