Instructions

Note 1:
A fly based on the well known standard pattern, the Royal Coachman, with
a peacock herl body divided by a red silk cummerbund. Like the rest of the flies in the Wulff series, it is tied full and
sometimes used
for salmon fishing.

Note 2:
It is interesting to follow the history or evolution, if you will, of the
Coachman, Leadwing Coachman, to the Royal Coachman, the Royal Wulff. Check
out the variants of
this pattern in between and today.
