Blue Quill Dry Winged Trout Fly

from the Turrall Dry Winged Trout Fly Collection.

The Blue Quill Dry Winged Trout Fly is a classic choice for anglers targeting trout in early spring. Originating in the late 19th century, this fly mimics the delicate Blue Quill mayfly, a staple in trout diets. Its design features a slender body crafted from blue-grey dubbing, paired with upright wings made from mallard or hen hackle, ensuring a realistic presentation on the water's surface. The fly's effectiveness lies in its ability to float well and entice selective trout during hatches. Perfect for clear streams and rivers, the Blue Quill is a must-have in any fly box, offering reliability and proven success in various fishing conditions..

Blue Quill Dry Winged Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Blue Quill Dry Winged Trout Fishing Fly is best utilised during the early season when mayflies are hatching. To maximise effectiveness, present the fly with a delicate cast upstream, allowing it to drift naturally with the current. Use a light tippet to enhance the fly's natural movement. Employ a dead-drift technique, ensuring the fly floats without drag, mimicking a real insect.
For retrieves, gently twitch the rod tip to simulate a struggling insect, enticing trout to strike. Focus on areas with slow-moving water near banks or behind rocks where trout are likely to be feeding. Adjust your position to avoid casting shadows over the water, maintaining stealth.

Key Seasons - when is this

Dry Winged Trout Fly

most effective?
The Blue Quill Dry Winged Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during the spring and early summer months, particularly from April to June. This period coincides with the hatching of the Blue Quill mayflies, making it an ideal time to use this fly. During these months, trout are actively feeding on the surface, and the Blue Quill fly mimics the natural insects they are targeting.
For optimal results, use this fly in clear, slow-moving waters on sunny days when the hatch is at its peak. The fly's delicate presentation is perfect for enticing trout in calm conditions, making it a must-have in your fly box during these key seasons.

How does the Turrall Blue Quill Dry Winged Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Blue Quill Dry Winged Trout Fishing Fly is designed to imitate the delicate and enticing stage of a mayfly's life cycle, specifically the dun stage. This stage occurs when the mayfly emerges from the water as a sub-adult, resting on the surface to dry its wings before taking flight. The fly's slender body and upright wings mimic the natural appearance of the mayfly dun, making it an irresistible target for trout. Fish are particularly drawn to this stage as it represents an easy meal; the insects are vulnerable and abundant, floating on the water's surface, providing a perfect opportunity for a feeding frenzy.
