Blue Quill Wet Winged Trout Fly

from the Turrall Wet Winged Trout Fly Collection.

The Blue Quill Wet Winged Trout Fly is a classic choice for anglers seeking to entice trout in both rivers and still waters. Originating in the early 20th century, this fly mimics the delicate appearance of emerging mayflies, making it a staple in any fly box. Its key features include a slender body crafted from blue quill fibres, paired with soft, mobile wings that create lifelike movement underwater. The design is completed with a subtle hackle, enhancing its effectiveness in various water conditions. Known for its versatility, the Blue Quill is particularly effective during the spring and autumn months when mayfly hatches are prevalent. Its proven track record and timeless design make it a must-have for both novice and seasoned anglers..

- Fishing Techniques.
The Blue Quill Wet Winged Trout Fishing Fly is best used in streams and rivers where trout are actively feeding on emerging insects. To maximise effectiveness, present the fly downstream using a dead drift technique, allowing it to naturally float with the current. This mimics the natural emergence of insects. Employ a slow, steady retrieve to imitate a struggling insect, which can trigger strikes from trout. Use a floating line with a long leader to ensure a delicate presentation. In faster waters, consider using a slight twitching motion to add life to the fly, enticing more aggressive takes.

Key Seasons - when is this

Wet Winged Trout Fly

most effective?
The Blue Quill Wet 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 mimic this natural food source. The fly works best in overcast conditions or when the water is slightly stained, as trout are more likely to be feeding actively. During the hatch, focus on slower-moving waters where trout are likely to be rising. As the season progresses, the fly can still be effective in the early mornings or late evenings when trout are feeding near the surface.

How does the Turrall Blue Quill Wet Winged Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Blue Quill Wet Winged Trout Fishing Fly mimics the early stages of the Blue Quill mayfly, specifically during its emergence from nymph to adult. This fly is designed to imitate the mayfly as it struggles to break free from its nymphal shuck, a vulnerable stage that makes it an easy target for trout.
The Blue Quill mayfly is a common sight in spring, and its emergence signals a feeding frenzy for trout, who are drawn to the surface to feast on these protein-rich insects. The wet winged design of the fly effectively replicates the appearance and movement of the mayfly, enticing trout to strike.
