xvigauge 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2018 It seems like there is a Royal Coachman everything; i.e. dry flies: feather wing, hair wing, Wulff, fan wing; streamer, and wet fly. I may have missed a few, but that's what I have in my box. Since I fish mostly with nymphs here in the Smoky Mountains, I started wondering about a Royal Coachman nymph. I had never heard of nor seen one, so I did a google search. Yes, they do exist, with or without a bead. So, I used what knowledge I have for tying a regular Royal Coachman and tied a Royal Coachman nymph. I will try them in the Little River when it gets warm enough to fish. Has anyone ever used such a nymph and if so, how did it work for you. Joe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mikechell 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2018 DO you have any pictures of your fly? Be interesting to see what you're talking/tying about. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
xvigauge 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2018 OK, I will try to post a pic. It may be a few days as I live way up in the mountains in the middle of nowhere and I don't have internet connections. I have to go to a local coffee shop to use my computer, but I will see what I can do. You can always google "royal coachman nymph" and some pics will come up . Mine are pretty close to those.

swampsinger 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2018 Coincidentally, I started a project this winter to tie different variations of the Royal Coachman. The main purpose was to improve and learn new tying skills. So far I have done a soft hackle, wet, trude, wulff and dry. Next, I'd like to try a salmon fly, streamer and maybe the original snelled version with wood duck wing and tail. I have also heard of royal humpy, madame X, prince and now, nymph. Looks like it might be a long winter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dave G. 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2018 You've hit one of my soft spots, I really like the Coachmen dries and the fish like those and the Royal Wulff both up north.. I've had some luck with the streamers too, for some reason never tried a wet fly though it should work fine. But I like tying them. Never knew there was a nymph or don't recall it anyway.
