Royal Coachman Trude (Lime)

Lime Royal Coachman – Trude

A highly visible variation of the classic Royal Coachman, the Lime Royal Coachman – Trude combines the legendary fish-attracting qualities of the Royal Coachman with the buoyancy and visibility of a Trude-style overwing. The bright lime body adds extra attraction and makes this pattern especially effective in rough water, low light, and faster currents.

Built with a calf-tail down-wing and heavy hackle collar, this fly rides high on the surface and performs exceptionally well in riffles, pocket water, and other broken currents where visibility is critical.

🎯 Key Features

• Bright lime attractor body for enhanced visibility
