{"product_id":"royal-coachman-dry-fly","title":"Royal Coachman Dry Fly","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"142\" data-end=\"465\"\u003eThe Royal Coachman Dry Fly is a classic and highly recognisable winged attractor pattern, known for its bold profile and ability to provoke aggressive takes. With its distinctive peacock herl body and bright red band, this fly stands out clearly on the surface, making it highly effective when trout are feeding opportunistically.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"467\" data-end=\"798\"\u003eOriginally developed as a traditional coachman variant, this pattern combines natural and trigger elements to create a fly that is both visible and suggestive rather than imitative. The contrast between the dark peacock body and the red centre creates a strong silhouette that trout can easily detect in a wide range of conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"800\" data-end=\"1060\"\u003eIts balanced hackle and wing structure allow it to sit confidently on the surface, providing reliable flotation in both calm water and light current. The Royal Coachman excels as a searching pattern and is particularly useful when no specific hatch is present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1062\" data-end=\"1216\"\u003eSuitable for rivers, streams and stillwaters, this is a dependable choice for anglers looking to cover water and draw strikes from actively feeding trout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1218\" data-end=\"1292\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlease note all of our fishing flies are barbless unless otherwise stated.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1294\" data-end=\"1297\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"1yl5694\" data-start=\"1299\" data-end=\"1317\"\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1319\" data-end=\"1486\"\u003eTail - Golden Pheasant Tippet\u003cbr data-start=\"1348\" data-end=\"1351\"\u003eBody - Peacock Herl, Red Floss\u003cbr data-start=\"1381\" data-end=\"1384\"\u003eHackle - Cock Brown\u003cbr data-start=\"1403\" data-end=\"1406\"\u003eWing - White Calf Tail\u003cbr data-start=\"1428\" data-end=\"1431\"\u003eHead - Black Silk\u003cbr data-start=\"1448\" data-end=\"1451\"\u003eHook - Barbless, Mustad of Norway\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-start=\"1488\" data-end=\"1491\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-section-id=\"e0xdyx\" data-start=\"1493\" data-end=\"1508\"\u003eHow To Fish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1510\" data-end=\"1655\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1510\" data-end=\"1533\"\u003eUpstream Dead Drift\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1533\" data-end=\"1536\"\u003ePresent the fly upstream and allow a natural, drag free drift.
