im thinking prince nymph
i do tie streamers i tie buggers, cats whiskers, some steelhead flys and soon the mickey finn when i get some extra $$
Sounds like you've got quite a few flies under your belt. The Prince Nymph is a great fly, if a little complicated -- not one I often tie for myself. The one fly that is conspicuously missing from your list is the Woolly Bugger, which as we have discussed here many times, is one of the most versatile and productive fly patterns in existence.
You also don't have any streamers in your list -- those could keep you busy for months and will catch you fish, too.

Then there's the various zonker patterns:

These flies are a little different than the stuff you've been tying lately, but they'll give your fly box a little more depth when it comes to the type of forage you can imitate.
You should also think about stonefly and salmonfly nymphs at some point. The Prince Nymph and Pheasant Tail can be used to imitate these larva, but sometimes a more accurate imitation will be more productive. They can be very simple and impressionistic, like the Goldenstone:

or they can be very realistic and detailed:

Learning to tie something that hatches at a waterway near you would be very smart.
