Vibrant yellow-green packaging surrounds these 0 1/2" (1.5 cm) flies, marking them as authentic Glen Evans production from Caldwell, Idaho. These Royal Coachman patterns, cataloged under product code 17993, showcase the traditional divided wing design paired with a classic peacock herl body and a distinct red silk midsection. A bright red tail fiber accents the rear, while the upright white wings are designed for high visibility during a drift. Since these items carry the Gladding Corporation branding, they date to a period when the Idaho firm was part of a major American tackle conglomerate. The specimens are unused, preserved behind clear plastic bubbles that have kept the delicate hackle fibers in their original factory state. Every detail, from the crisp typography on the card to the hand-tied appearance of the flies, serves as a testament to mid-century fly-tying standards.
