Tampering With the Royal Coachman


Playing with some patterns to swing in the high, off-color water. As a lure, there's no denying the killing attractiveness of the Royal Coachman. Of course, the old dressing begs tampering with. This one is dressed on a #4 TMC 200R hook, camel UNI 8/0 thread, golden pheasant crest tail, golden pheasant tippet wound as a collar, peacock herl body, red tinsel girdle, brown marabou rear collar, brown hen front collar, white goose Dee-style wing.
