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.
