- The Royal Coachman is a dry fly I have fished before, and absolutely love! I also love the Royal Wulff as well which is very similar with a different tail. The Western Coachman though is a fly im used to seeing as a wet fly, or I guess maybe its an emerger. But a customer of mine asked me to tie it as a dry fly, so here is my attempt at that. They are beautiful flies, especially with the golden pheasant tails. That is some trippy cool looking birds with awesome feathers!
Anyway I tied up 24 of these for this gentleman who I am hoping will catch some really nice fish with them. I tied them in size 12 and 14, which both came out good. Being the first time ive tied these though, I hope I did a good enough job. For anyone watching who has tied these before, please let me know if I did anything wrong. The head and hackle on this particular one didn't come out perfect, the others did much better. Just I can't chew gum and walk, so tying and talking and filming together usually make for a bumble of a tie.
So here is the list of materials for this particular fly. Like I said I like using Risen hooks when I tie myself, so please go check them out. Their barbless dry fly hooks are awesome! www.risenfly.c...
I also got you all a discount there, so they are even a better deal when you type in "McFly" at checkout.

Nice looking pattern. I will have to add some to my box. Thanks, sir.
Ya, a classic that still works
I have been using the wet version for about 40 years, it is the fly i always start with,and has been my most productive pattern period.
Oh cool, yeah the wet version is all I’ve ever seen before, but apparently the dry version used to also be very popular
Peacock herl and golden pheasant tippet = deadly combo.
👍
Nice to see this pattern up on the screen! It has been around for a long time but has sort of dwindled to obscurity. I have tied them using white calf tail as well, either way works. You did an excellent job of presenting this pattern! Let me see if I can find the applause emoji.💥💥🙌🙌🙋
Thanks Kerry! Man I’ve not seen the dry fly version honestly. Only the wet one before. Glad to hear you approve! Haha
@@McFlyAngler I could unapprove if it appeals to your masochistic side! 😂😂
No I’m good. Lol
I have also tied this for years with white calf tail. Killer pattern.
Nice fly that I've had luck with myself. I like the using g the thread 2 make a denser body. Will apply that 2 other flies as well! Thank you 4 anthr great video! God Bless n fish on!
God bless you as well, glad you liked it.
Looks like a high country cutty meal!
Lol for sure! It’s a good pattern...
Gerald S I was thinking along the same lines. Looks like a cross between a stimulator and a hopper. I’d dead drift it in a larger size #10-12 in the alpine lakes here.
Fished this pattern for almost 20 years as a dry. Little known, super productive pattern.
Thanks! Nice to hear. Well it is very pretty no question, and easier to tie than the wulff style. I’d want to see the royal version without the difficult wings that come from tying a wulff.
Pithy Counsel Hi. Do you dead drift it like a conventional dry fly or can you skate and twitch it like a terrestrial? It looks maybe like a hopper or stimulator? What size has worked for you? I’m fishing mostly mountain streams, still water and tail waters in California and Utah.
@@farmerbob4554 generally fish it like a conventional dry. It's more of an attractor like the R. Wolff. I wouldn't leave home without half a dozen if I'm hitting mountain streams. Sizes 12-18. I find 16 the most productive early and mid-season and the tend to lean on the larger sizes late summer and early fall.
Nice fly buddy. Not going to be tying one any time soon because I sold my house and all of my tying stuff is in a tote. But watch out come spring, I'm buying a motor home and touring the country looking for new places to fish. Keep the good stuff coming.
Nice man! Good luck!
Johnny Lightning That sounds like a trip of a lifetime. Hope you make it out West. Trout fishing in Utah and Idaho is fantastic!
Yup that's great fly
It’s a good pattern for sure!
Great vid, so very well explained ! Another one for me to try, thanks !
Thank you, glad it helped. :)
For such a dense fly it looks very floatable. Nice looking fly too.
Thanks! Yeah but I think it’s dense in semi floating materials so, yeah should float. How you been Bob?
McFly Angler Hey Shawn. I’m doing OK and thanks for asking. Headed to Utah Oct. 15 with the posse plus my son and his buddy. Really miss your company Shawn and would have loved if you can make the journey some day. I will never forget you bringing the portable bench and tying flies on the spot. It was epic having your personal expert tying flies minutes before fishing them. I’m targeting a PB brown and rainbow this trip and your rainbow streamer will be put to good use. I still think that is the greatest fly ever invented for targeting big trout. A “hall of fame” fly for sure! There have been a number of fires in the local mountains including my favorite fishing locations so I’m on eggs about the damage to the watersheds there. The lake area isn’t affected though so we’ll be limited to that area. We named that corner of Eagle Lake “Shawn’s Cove” after you hammered all those trout casting into a 30 mph head wind!
Haha thanks man! Yeah I wish I could come also! Just right now things are crazy! We are improving our situation slowly though so maybe one day.
Wonderful video. New camera looks great!!!!
Thanks!
Love those
Thabak
Nice!

Nice job great fly but with tail it’s a little long ,try using the second black band as a marker where the tail should be tied in on the hook
Ok. Thanks
Great tie! What camera and light are you using for the recording? Looking really solid.
Thank you! So it’s this camera with the kit lends amzn.to/34mh5LJ
For lights I’m using simple led desk lamp and floor lamp, they are like $30-40 each. amzn.to/2HMpjFi And amzn.to/3ipuFmr I also have a small light for the top of my camera amzn.to/2SkKO2b
Oh and I use the spacers to give it the ability to focus close. Here they are amzn.to/30trHYf
Basically it turns the kit lends into a macro lends
@@McFlyAngler Thank you so much for taking the time!
Glad to help
Why not use UV resin? What's the advantage of head cement?
Well you could! But with a small fly it’s tough to get UV resin in there without covering up the hook. Even with head cement it can happen, this is “water based” head cement which is different. It’s all up to you. Use what you feel more comfortable with.
You should do a video on Whitlock's waking minnow. Whitlock made a video, but the video quality is like 240p. I'll order some if need be.
Lol no need to order, not all my orders become videos. I’ll look into it, but likely not in the next few videos... I’ll try though.
