Notes:
The coyote fly pattern is not exactly the same as the roadrunner lure, but they share some similarities. The coyote is a bucktail jig with a spinner blade, similar to the roadrunner, and is designed to attract fish by sound vibrations. Both lures are effective for catching various game fish, but the coyote is often preferred for its durability and ability to move better than a fly tied with only bucktail. The coyote’s spinner blade allows for game fish either seeing (in clear water) or hearing (in stained water) the fly in the water, making it a versatile option for anglers.
