Royal Wulff


Hook: Standard dry fly hook - typically size 12 or 10
Thread: Black 6/0
Rib: Fine gold or silver wire - optional
Hackle: Coachman brown, wrapped very full
Body: Peacock herl, then red floss, then peacock herl, roughly equal lengths
Wing: White Calf tail upright and divided (calf body hair works too but calf tail creates a fuller wing) Many tiers have turned to synthetic material for wings
Tail: Moose, elk, or natural coastal deer hair
Notes: Like all flies, careful attention must be paid to proper proportioning. This is especially true with this pattern since there are so many materials to incorporate into the final result
