Royal Coachman

Royal Coachman

One of the most iconic attractor fly patterns ever created, the Royal Coachman has been a favorite among trout anglers since the late 1800s. Originally developed from the classic Coachman pattern, the addition of the distinctive red floss center created a more durable and highly visible fly that quickly became legendary on trout waters everywhere.

This dry fly version rides high on the surface and is especially effective as a searching pattern in rivers, streams, and mountain lakes. A longtime favorite in the Rocky Mountains for Brook Trout, the Royal Coachman imitates a wide variety of insects including mayflies, ants, and general attractor patterns.
