The Dry Hackled Blue Quill is a classic trout fly, renowned for its effectiveness in imitating small mayflies. Originating in the early 20th century, this fly has been a staple in anglers' boxes, particularly during the spring hatches. Its key features include a slender body crafted from blue-grey dubbing, paired with a delicate hackle that ensures buoyancy and a lifelike presentation on the water's surface. The design is simple yet effective, making it a favourite for targeting selective trout. With its proven track record, the Blue Quill remains a must-have for any fly fishing enthusiast seeking success on the river..

Dry Hackled Blue Quill Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Dry Hackled Blue Quill is best used during hatches of small mayflies. 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 presentation and avoid spooking fish. Employ a dead-drift technique, ensuring the fly floats naturally without drag. If no strikes occur, try a subtle twitch to mimic a struggling insect. Fish in clear, slow-moving waters where trout are likely to rise. Adjust your position to avoid casting shadows on the water, and remain stealthy to prevent alerting the fish.

Key Seasons - when is this

Dry Hackled Trout Fly

most effective?
The Dry Hackled Blue Quill is most effective during the spring and early summer months, particularly from April to June. This period coincides with the hatching of Blue Quill mayflies, making it an ideal time to use this fly. Look for overcast days with mild temperatures, as these conditions often trigger hatches. The fly works best in clear, slow-moving waters where trout are actively feeding on the surface. During the hatch, focus on presenting the fly delicately to mimic the natural emergence of the mayflies, increasing your chances of enticing a strike.

How does the Turrall Dry Hackled Blue Quill Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Dry Hackled Blue Quill fly imitates the subimago stage of the Blue Winged Olive mayfly, a crucial part of a trout's diet. This fly mimics the mayfly as it emerges from the water, transitioning from nymph to adult. During this stage, the mayfly is vulnerable, floating on the water's surface as it dries its wings. Trout target these emerging insects due to their abundance and ease of capture. The fly's delicate hackle and subtle colouring replicate the natural appearance and movement of the mayfly, enticing trout to strike. This makes it an effective choice for anglers during mayfly hatches.
