add147 0 Report post Posted September 20, 2015 Mine will be going in the mail tomorrow. I tied a size 10 hook white ostrich feather tail, orange floss body with a peacock herl collar and a gold bead. I hope these fit the bill! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jburge 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2015 Nick, Flies have left the building. Dropped 'em at the Post Office on the way to work this morning. Green Gossamer silk floss, peacock herl, and reverse hackle--tenkara style. Also work well as a caddis pupa impression :-) Thanks for hosting!

djd3mon 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2015 You are correct djd but there are established names attached to the many types of Coachman flies. Your version with the hair for wings is called the Royal Wullf. The standard Royal Coachman would normally have white mallard wings. Then it can be tied with Grizzly Hackle tips, as a swept back hair wing like a streamer, even as a parachute. The main ingredient to all the Royal family is the herl and floss. Tie one identical to yours with different color floss and they change the name. Tennessee Wullf is green floss. Then you can have Yellow Wullf, White Wullf, all the same fly with different floss colors. Biggest single advantage for the Wullf family is visibility and high flotation. You learn something new everyday! Thanks for the info by the way! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicrider 0 Report post Posted September 21, 2015 OH yeah...If you use Orange Floss it's the Virginia Wulff. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vicrider 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2015 Okay, got front page updated. We're halfway home. Looking darn good too. This may be the first swap with a Virginia Wulff in it, but not the last. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vicrider 0 Report post Posted October 15, 2015 Flies are all in and really looking good. I'll get them sorted later today and go out in mail tomorrow. This will be the first chance for many of us to have our own "Virginia Wullf" in our fly boxes, along with several more standard ties and some great little streamers.

vicrider 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2015 Speaking of the Virginia Wullf from Netabrookie he also included a strip of foam with Wullfs starting at size 18 and growing to size 8 and all beautiful ties. I have permission from him to make that one of the bonuses in the Christmas swap and whoever gets them has some high quality ties to add to his dry fly box.
