Royal Coachman Dry Fly
One of the Top 10 Patterns of All Time with many Variants
|
Royal Coachman: This grandfather of all Attractor patterns was transformed as a dry fly in 1878 by John Haily from his little Fly Shop in New York City. The first Coachman style pattern originated in England around 1820 as a wet fly by Tom Bosworth who was Coachman to King George IV, and was first called the Winged Brown Hackle. The rest is almost 200 years of fly fishing history. We are currently updating our inventory and not accepting new orders. Please check back at a later date. |
