Red Quill Dry Winged Trout Fly

from the Turrall Dry Winged Trout Fly Collection.

The Red Quill Dry Winged Trout Fly is a classic choice for anglers seeking to entice trout with its realistic appearance and effective design. Originating in the early 20th century, this fly was crafted by the renowned fly tier Leonard Wright. Its key features include a slender, quill-wrapped body that mimics the natural mayfly, paired with upright wings and a hackle collar for buoyancy. The fly's reddish-brown hue is particularly effective during the mayfly hatch, making it a staple in any angler's fly box. Known for its precision and reliability, the Red Quill is a must-have for successful trout fishing adventures..

- Fishing Techniques.
The Red Quill Dry Winged Trout Fishing Fly is best used during mayfly hatches, particularly in clear streams and rivers. To maximise effectiveness, present the fly upstream and allow it to drift naturally with the current, ensuring a drag-free presentation. Use a light tippet to enhance the fly's natural movement.
Employ a dead-drift technique, where the fly floats naturally on the water's surface, mimicking an emerging or spent mayfly. If no strikes occur, try a gentle twitch to simulate a struggling insect. This can entice trout to strike, especially in slower water sections.

Key Seasons - when is this

Dry Winged Trout Fly

most effective?
The Red 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 various mayfly species, which the Red Quill imitates. During these months, trout are actively feeding on the surface, making dry flies like the Red Quill highly effective.
Ideal conditions include overcast days with mild temperatures, as these encourage insect activity and surface feeding. The fly performs best in clear, slow-moving waters where trout can easily spot the imitation.

How does the Turrall Red Quill Dry Winged Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Red Quill Dry Winged Trout Fishing Fly is designed to imitate the adult stage of the mayfly, specifically the subimago or dun stage. This stage occurs when the mayfly emerges from the water, transitioning from a nymph to an adult. The fly's slender body, upright wings, and subtle colouration mimic the natural appearance of the mayfly as it rests on the water's surface, drying its wings before taking flight.
Fish, particularly trout, target this stage because the mayflies are vulnerable and abundant, providing an easy and nutritious meal. The Red Quill's realistic presentation entices fish to strike, making it a favourite among anglers.
