Royal Wulff the fly that just keeps working

Royal Wulff. The Royal Wulff is a dry fly pattern first tied by Lee Wulff and has been fished with great success for decades. It imitates many different types of mayflies and terrestrials which make it a great attractor fly for prospecting, this fly works equally well in both slow and fast water. I have know  fisherman’s  that all they would fished was Royal Wulff in different sizes during the spring.  If you fish in and around the Great Smoky Mountains National Park you need to keep some Royal Wulff flies in your Fly box.
