Allies Chenille Coachman

Rodgerole asked about the Allies Chenille Coachman and the recipe Celltech gave is almost verbatim what Robert H Alley published in his booklet, 40 Best Trout Flies.

Tail: Red hackle fibers or red dyed bucktail
Rib: Fine copper wire
Body: one quarter olive chenille, one half red floss, one quarter olive chenille
Hackle: Brown saddle hackle tied folded to extend to point of hook
Wing: White calftail

Alley suggests a size 10 as an exploring pattern for a small stream. One size larger with some weight at the eye of the hook works great for larger rivers.

Just in case anyone is interested.
