The Royal Coachman is a classic dry fly pattern that has stood the test of time, known for its versatility and effectiveness in attracting trout. With its striking red and peacock herl body, this fly mimics a variety of insects, making it an excellent attractor pattern. The white wings and vibrant colors make it highly visible on the water, even in challenging light conditions. The Royal Coachman is particularly effective in riffles and faster currents, where its buoyancy and lively appearance can provoke aggressive strikes from surface-feeding trout. This fly is a must-have in any angler’s dry fly collection.
