Royal Coachman

No comments yet

Last week I tied the Royal Coachman Traditional Wet Fly (which can be viewed here... https://youtu.be/MfChYpYQl_Y). and I wanted to tie this dry fly royal coachman as well. Both use the same materials with the exception of the dry fly hackle for the dry version, and both are very effective in their own right. Of course one is for sub surface fishing, and the other is a dry fly. I do find these to be some of the most beautiful fly patterns ever created, and they really are not too difficult to tie when you get the hang of them. I will admit the dry fly version is a bit more difficult in my opinion but still can be done once you get the hang of the fly.

Make sure you check out last weeks video on the wet version of this fly, it can be found here... https://youtu.be/MfChYpYQl_Y

The GFF money box

… I have a small favor to ask.

Long story short

Support the Global FlyFisher through several different channels, including PayPal.

Long story longer

The Global FlyFisher has been online since the mid-90's and has been free to access for everybody since day one – and will stay free for as long as I run it.
But that doesn't mean that it's free to run.
It costs money to drive a large site like this.
See more details about what you can do to help in this blog post.

The Global FlyFisher was updated to a new publishing system early March 2025, and there may still be a few glitches while the last bits get fixed. If you meet anything that doesn't work, please let me know.
