More goodness from the Badger State. Tied here as a streamer; I've seen it in wet and dry versions, as well as one with Golden Pheasant tippet tail/peacock body (sounds like a Coachman Hairwing).

Nice, Scott. Rio Grande King-ish

Here's one I tied up in the peacock/golden pheasant version.

The only real difference I see between it and a Western Coachman is the thread color. I found the fly on a Wisconsin site, which is where it originated, so you think they'd know; never assume anything, I guess.
