Royal Wulff

Written by Loren Williams Hits: 408

Fly Materials

Wing	White Calf body hair; stacked, divided and upright.
Tail	Natural Coastal deer hair; stacked.
Body	Red floss sandwiched between peacock herl; body length should be ½ the hook shank in total.
Hackle	Brown or Coachman. I prefer my Wulff’s to be very fully dressed so I opt to use 3 prime genetic hackles. Coachman brown is preferred but it is quite difficult to find in natural capes.

Notes:
Like all flies, careful attention must be paid to proper proportioning. This is
especially true with this pattern since there are so many materials to
incorporate onto a rather small hunk of iron.

Although
I tie these mainly for display, the RW continues to be a very adept attractor
and indicator pattern. Try it in the pocket water where trout seems especially
fond of it’s display.
