Royal Coachman features peacock herl, red band, and white wings. A legendary attractor dry fly that suggests many insects and remains a classic trout pattern.
Description
The Royal Coachman is one of the most renowned trout fly fishing flies, with a history dating back to the late 1800s. Originally tied as a wet fly, it quickly evolved into a dry fly and has since become a symbol of traditional fly fishing. Known for its bold, eye-catching design, the Royal Coachman is a true attractor pattern—it doesn’t imitate one specific insect, but rather suggests a variety of food sources that trout eagerly take.
The fishing flies feature a peacock herl body with a distinct red silk band in the center, paired with white wings and brown hackle. This vibrant combination of natural iridescence and bright contrast makes it stand out on the water, even in fast currents or low light. Its buoyant construction allows it to float well, and the wings provide both visibility and balance.
The Royal Coachman is an excellent choice in freestone streams, mountain creeks, and anywhere trout respond to attractor dries. It can represent mayflies, caddis, or simply an irresistible morsel drifting on the surface. A timeless classic, the Royal Coachman remains one of the most enduring and beloved flies in the angling world.
