Royal Coachman, Streamer
Been making streamers this week. Did some Mickey Finns, Scrappy Bugs and now this, a streamer version of the classic Royal Coachman.
Varied it by using magenta micro-flashabou wound on as a dub noodle for the body.The pattern normally calls for red floss on the body. The material came from a hair extension, purchased at the local discount store.
It's a pretty fly, but a bit of a PITA at the vise. At least the head turned out nice.

That looks like a good fly! You'll have to fish it for sure!
Ginger neck hackle? Lady Amherst crest tippets? McScruff, I sure how you didn't take about another mortgage to afford all the feathers...... I'd hate to think you sold your soul t the Demons of Fly-Tying....
