Description
The Royal Trude is a legendary attractor dry fly that has earned a permanent place in trout anglers’ boxes for more than a century. Originally tied as a wet fly in the late 1800s, the Trude pattern evolved into one of the most versatile dry flies ever created. The Royal Trude is easily identified by its peacock herl body, red floss band, and white calf tail wing that provides excellent visibility on the water.
These fly fishing flies are not meant to perfectly imitate any one insect but instead serve as a “searching” pattern that suggests a variety of food sources—stoneflies, caddis, mayflies, or even small terrestrials. Its buoyant construction allows it to ride high, making it effective in fast water and riffles, while its bright wing helps anglers track it during evening hatches or in broken current.
The Royal Trude is equally at home on freestone rivers, mountain streams, and tailwaters. It works well as a single dry or in a dry-dropper setup, making it both versatile and reliable. Timeless in design and consistently effective, this attractor fly remains a favorite for trout anglers everywhere.
