Royal Coachman Variation
So I am curious as to the thoughts on the variation I made of a Royal Coachman, and a few other patterns I have included. They are in PMD and Mahogany Dun patterns. Just curious as to anyones thoughts. All have been very productive in catching fish.

I like them. Never thought of doing them that way.
Thanks

Cool flies; if the fish are happy, you should be happy.

Nice flies and very different.

Rename it the Tenkara Coachman. Write it up. Ensure your place in posterity.

I like fly's tied with the hackle pointing forward. This seems to attract fish like no other!
-
They're interesting and nicely tyed. But they are ugly fly patterns. Then again, who the heck am I? Certainly I'm not a fish and if I 'knew' what the fish would take each time, I'd only carry several of the same pattern that particular time. Glad they work for you.
Oh! Fished dry or wet?
-
Different? Yes. Ugly? No
Are these intended to be Tenkara patterns?
They remind me a bit of some of LaFontaine's last work.
-
They generally fish dry but at times fish wet, as I don't treat them with floatant. I did tie them in mind of a Tenkara Kebari, but they fish extremely well with a traditional set up. How would I write it up? I have a few LaFontaines's books! I almost wonder if the reverse hackle works as an emerger.

Have you read his book "the Dry Fly - A New Angle? I believe that is the correct name.
