carli 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2007 Not sure if that is the right name but... After being hooked on classic slamon flies I thought maybe a classic dry-fly would be fun too. This fly is size 12 dry hook Not absolute perfect but fun. Will try this one more time for the perfect look. Used Sparrow wing feather instead of white kip tail for the wing(double split wing) Any comments? :baby: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Robert_S 0 Report post Posted January 3, 2007 I believe that a Royal coachman has white duck quill wings with Golden pheasant tippets for the tail, The Royal Wulff has the hair wing with moose or deer hair tail or a lot of folks use ground hog tail or hackle. But If your doing a coachman I would stick with the standard materials thats what seperates it from the Wulff and if you do a real nice one I thinks its one of the best looking dry fly patterns out there.
