Royal Wulff Fly Pattern

The Royal Wulff is one of those great attractor fly patterns, not imitating a specific fly in nature, it is a great fish catcher. Catching all over the globe this fly is fished with the following techniques:

1. as a single dry fly on a tapered leader,
2. as part of a New Zealand rig where the highly buoyant Royal Wulff supports a buzzer or nymph searching across riffles on rivers or
3. as a sight fly with an ultra small midge pattern, for example an F Fly where the Royal Wulff fly pattern acts as a attractor fly pattern in its own right and as a bit indicator for the ultra small F Flies or micro dry flies
