{"product_id":"wulff-royal","title":"Royal Wulff Dry Fly","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Royal Wulff Dry Fly is a bold and highly buoyant surface pattern that blends the classic Royal colour scheme with the rugged Wulff hair wing design. Built for performance in rivers, this fly offers strong visibility, durability and a confident surface footprint.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRecognised by its peacock body and red central band, the Royal Wulff stands out clearly in broken current and changing light. The upright white calf wing improves tracking at distance, while the full brown hackle keeps the fly riding high and stable. This combination makes it particularly effective when trout are feeding in riffles, pocket water or faster glides.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRather than copying one exact insect, the Royal Wulff works as a high floating attractor with mayfly characteristics. Its striking colour contrast can trigger reaction takes when fish are opportunistic or when natural insects are less defined on the surface. Suitable for rivers and streams throughout the season, it remains one of the most dependable Wulff style patterns available.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePlease note all of our fishing flies are barbless unless otherwise stated.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eRoyal Wulff Dry Fly \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTail - Elk Hair\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBody - Peacock Herls \u0026amp; Red Floss\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHackle - Cock Brown\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWing - Calf Body White\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHead - Black Silk\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHook - Barbless, Mustad of Norway\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTarget Species - Trout\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy Choose The Royal Wulff?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHigh Visibility Profile\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhite wing and contrasting body improve tracking and strike detection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExcellent Buoyancy\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHair wing and full hackle keep the fly riding securely in faster water.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAttractor Influence\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePeacock and red body elements stimulate reaction takes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eHow To Dress The \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRoyal Wulff Dry Fly\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eApply Floatant To Wing \u0026amp; Hackle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLightly treat these materials before fishing to maintain lift and stability.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAvoid Excessive Treatment On The Body\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePreserve a natural footprint on the surface.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDry Between Casts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUse amadou or desiccant powder if flotation reduces during use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eHow To Fish The \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eRoyal Wulff Dry Fly\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUpstream Dead Drift\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCast upstream into riffles and runs and allow a drag free drift through likely holding water.
