The Royal Madam X is a versatile and effective attractor fly pattern designed to imitate various insects such as hoppers, cicadas, stoneflies, and dragonflies. Ideal for targeting trout, bass, and panfish, it features a peacock herl and red floss body, white calf tail wing, rubber legs, and brown or grizzly hackle.

Best used as a dry fly, the Royal Madam X should be presented delicately near banks or under overhanging vegetation. It excels with a dead drift presentation but can also be twitched or skated to mimic struggling insects. Perfect for spring through fall, this fly’s bright colors ensure high visibility even in turbulent or stained water, making it an essential addition to any angler’s fly box.
