RED QUILL
$1.89
Red Quill dry fly features a slim, segmented reddish-brown body and upright wings. A hatch-matching classic for trout during spring and fall mayfly hatches.
Description
The Red Quill are historic and highly effective dry fly fishing flies created to imitate Paraleptophlebia and Ephemerella mayflies, known for their reddish-brown bodies and delicate wings. This fly is most productive during spring and fall hatches, when trout feed selectively on medium-sized mayflies drifting on the surface. Its slim, segmented body and natural proportions make it a trusted hatch-matching pattern for anglers fishing clear, technical waters.
The Red Quill features a reddish-brown quill body for realistic segmentation, paired with upright dun wings and hackle that keeps the fly floating naturally in riffles, glides, and pools. Its simple yet elegant design has stood the test of time, fooling trout across generations. Because it matches multiple mayfly species, it serves both as a hatch-specific pattern and a general mayfly imitation when trout are surface feeding.
The Red Quill is ideal for spring creeks, freestone rivers, and tailwaters where accurate imitations are required. Whether fished during mid-morning or evening hatches, this classic dry fly continues to produce results, making it a staple for anglers who value traditional, proven patterns.
