Royal Wulff Chartreuse
A hitch of the legendary pattern, designed for fast water fly fishing.
If you want a fast water fly, this is one for your fly box. All Wulff style flies float extremely well, and this version is easy to see.
The Royal Wulff has caught virtually all game fish. One of the best attractor patterns out there, effective in high water, pocket water, and slack water.
Use heavier tippet and cast two or three times to likely gathering spots for fish. There are times when chartreuse seems to get strikes like nothing else.

This fly has been a game-changer in my fishing trips. I’ve used it in both high and slack water, and it consistently draws strikes. The chartreuse color stands out even in clear water, and it floats perfectly.

Caught a large trout in a slack water area using this pattern. It’s easy to see and floats well. I’ve used it in multiple locations and it’s one of my go-to flies.

Good performance in pocket water. A bit more visible than other patterns, which helps when fishing in low visibility. Would recommend for beginners and experienced anglers alike.

Fished this in high water conditions and got several bites. The float is stable and the color draws fish in. I cast it twice and saw a good response.
