Leadwing Coachman

A place to discuss the collecting and tying of classic flies, the tyers who made them famous, the tools, materials and techniques they used as well as the waters they were designed for. While classic is generally used to describe old things, classic is also used in the sense of first class or in the highest form. Therefore a fully dressed Salmon Fly, or a Carrie Stevens Streamer are just as much classics as a Chernobyl Ant would be. Enjoy the forum.

One of my favorites! Especially this one.

PM me, please, with a price per dozen. Say...size 12 and 16?

Excellent! One of the few quill wing wets that I still fish regularly.

Good fly. I use it in tandem with the traditional hare's ear wet fly.
