"A coachman with the usual peacock herl body but with a red tail, hackle of Barred Rock and Phode Island Red and with Andalusian wings tied spent, was tied first at "The Cabin" of George Mason, president of Nash Motors, on the South Branch of the AuSable (Michigan) River. About 1934, Mason and John Stephan conceived the idea of changing, in some respects, the Coachman fly which Mason used at that time, an all brown hackle with a red tip. First they tied a few with a mixed or Adams hackle. This proved to be successful and so they proceeded to find a name for it. Because of the place of its origin, it was called the Cabin Coachman.
