Royal Coachman

The Royal Coachman, created in 1878 by John Hailey and L.C. Originally conceived as a Coachman imitation, it underwent modifications, including the addition of a red floss body for increased durability against the teeth of Maine brook trout. With its distinctive red body, white wings, and peacock herl accents, the Royal Coachman has become synonymous with traditional fly fishing. A terrific fly for Grayling and Brook Trout

The Royal Coachman excels in faster-moving streams where its buoyancy and visibility stand out. Use it during hatches of non-descript midges or caddis for an effective attractor pattern.
