Royal Wulff
A dry fly pattern first tied by Lee Wulff and fished with great success for decades. This buggy dry fly imitates many different types of mayflies and terrestrials, too. A great dry fly for prospecting, it can be fished in slow or fast water.

Classic Fly - Good Qualtiy,
October 18, 2012
By: KevinAZ
from Phoenix, AZ
"As has been my experience with all of Orvis' flies, this is well tied and fairly robust/rugged. This is a classic fly that all anglers should have in their box. Hooked into a spooky Arizona Brown with this fly on my first time out."

The ultimate brook trout fly,
July 27, 2012
By: ADKtrout
"This is the ultimate fly for catching mountain book trout. Fished in size 14 or 16, it out produces any other fly I've tried. Be sure to add a few to your fly box."

"I was fishing the Chattahoochee river and saw some trout near the surface. Since nymphs weren't working i decided to give this fly a try. After about 10 casts i hooked a little rainbow and later on hooked a brown but he got away. Overall its a good fly"

I know I've said this before...,

By: FeatherFly
from Northern California
"This is an essential fly for any dry fly fisherman. The Royal Wulff is a top fly and classic pattern for a reason... it works! I keep a 12, 16 and 18 in my fly box at all times and I can't count how many trout I've landed with them. Highly recommend!"

"This is a classic pattern that I have used since I started fly fishing. This is a great pattern in the summer when the water is more shallow and the current is slower. It is readily visible on the water and is a pattern of confidence when there are no rises, or there is an uncertainty of what the trout are feeding on."

"I prefer to use the classic flies. Maybe because I have an eisier time recognizing them, their names and their applications. This is a high quality fly. I typically go with this or a Borcher's Drake in the summer when there are no visible hatches on the water. Also, with age, my declining eyesight is probably my biggest challenge to fly fishing. I love flies that have some high vis or parachute type element that helps me spot and follow them in the current. I just hate to spend more than about a dollar or a dollar and a half on flies. I guess I should stop complaining a buy a fly tying kit (just not enough time in the day)."

"Lee Wulff is one of the worlds greatest fly tiers by far. This fly works on all hatches all summer and into late fall. You can use it in streams,creeks,river,or lakes. It simply works. Is a must have for any fly fisherman anywhere."

"The Royal Wulff imitates just about everything I suppose, since trout take it so readily. Easy to see when you float it down a riffle and very effective."

"The Royal Wulff is a tremendous fly. The Trout love it. I like how it has a pattern on it because if you don't know what the fish are biting on and nothing is hatching you could use this fly to help you figure out what color fly the fish are eating."
