I’ve discovered that I long for the days of simpler times, tying traditional patterns but adding my own twist on them.  Decided to tie a Hairwing Royal Coachman as a spey fly for the local early fall steelhead run.

Fished it on an overcast drizzly evening on the lower McKenzie River and still no love from The Fish of A Thousand Casts.
