RED QUILL DRY

The Red Quill is an iconic, classic dry fly primarily used to imitate the male Hendrickson mayfly(Ephemerella subvaria) during early-season hatches. Famed for its delicate profile and stripped quill body, it is a staple for fooling picky trout in spring. 
Key Pattern Variations
  • Classic Catskill Style: Created by legendary tier Art Flick, this version features upright wood-duck flank wings, a sparse tail, and a tapered body made from a stripped red or brown rooster hackle stem.
  • Parachute Red Quill: A modern favorite that rides lower in the water film and uses a white post to enhance visibility during dead-drift presentations.
Ideal Conditions & Tactics
  • When to fish: Early to mid-spring, specifically during Hendrickson or Red Quill hatches.
  • Water type: Perfect for rivers, spring creeks, and tailwaters.
  • Presentation: Requires a drag-free dead-drift. Keep your line mended so the fly floats naturally over rising trout.
