A Pacific Northwest steelhead standard that has also become one of the most productive Alaska trout and char patterns. A favorite of flyfishers all over Alaska for steelhead, coho, and pink salmon too.
The Royal Coachman is an artificial fly that has been tied as a wet fly, dry fly and streamer pattern. Today, the Royal Coachman and its variations are tied mostly as dry flies and fished floating on the water surface. It is a popular and widely used pattern for freshwater game fish, particularly trout and grayling. Large streamer versions are also used for winter steelhead and Atlantic salmon.
