Royal Wulff

Royal Wulff
The Royal Wulff is one of the all-time classic dry fly attractor patterns. It has all the features of a great fly. It is easy to see, has peacock and red floss for flash and is heavily hackled to float well. Definitely a fly to always have with.
History Note: The Royal Wulff was not actually originated by Lee Wulff. He created the Gray and White Wulff during his stay in the Adirondacks during the 1929. Q L Quackenbush, one of the early members of the Beaverkill Trout Club above Lew Beach in NY state, is credited with designing the Royal Coachman hair wing dry fly. He liked the the fanwinged Royal Coachman but found the wings too flimsy and fragile. He asked tyer Reuben Cross of Neversink, New York to dress a Royal Coachman with a more robust wing. Reuben asked his suppliers to send him suitable material that was stiff, white and kinky. They sent him Impala tails that were ideal for the task. It was originally given the name of the Quack Coachman by members of the Beverkill Trout Club. It looked very similar to the more popular Wulff dry flies and gradually became known as the Royal Wulff.
