The Royal Coachman fly pattern is a classic dry fly pattern that has been used by fly fishers for over a century. Its name originates from the colorful dress of coachmen who drove horse-drawn carriages in the 19th century.
 
The fly typically features a body made of peacock herl, a tail made of brown or red hackle fibers, and a wing made of white-tipped brown or grizzly hackle feathers. Anglers often tie it using hook sizes ranging from 10 to 16. This fly finds common use among anglers targeting trout and various other freshwater fish species.
 
It is a highly visible fly on the water due to its bright colors and contrasting wing. Anglers can fish it in both Stillwater and moving water environments, often targeting riffles, runs, and pools.
