Gordon Quill Dry Winged Trout Fly

from the Turrall Dry Winged Trout Fly Collection.

The Gordon Quill Dry Winged Trout Fly is a classic choice for anglers seeking success on the water. Originating in the early 20th century, this fly was designed to mimic the natural quill-bodied insects that trout find irresistible. Its key features include a slender quill body, delicate hackle, and upright wings, which ensure it sits perfectly on the water's surface, enticing even the most cautious trout.
Renowned for its effectiveness, the Gordon Quill is particularly successful during mayfly hatches, making it a must-have in any fly box. Its design allows for a natural drift, increasing strike rates and providing an authentic presentation that experienced anglers trust..

Gordon Quill Dry Winged Trout Fishing Fly

- Fishing Techniques.
The Gordon Quill Dry Winged Trout Fishing Fly is best used in clear, slow-moving waters where trout are feeding on the surface. To maximise effectiveness, present the fly upstream and allow it to drift naturally with the current, ensuring minimal drag. Use a light tippet to enhance presentation and avoid spooking the fish.
Employ a dead-drift technique, occasionally twitching the fly gently to mimic the natural movement of an emerging insect. During hatches, target rising fish by casting just ahead of them, allowing the fly to float into their feeding zone. Adjust your casting angle to counteract wind and maintain a natural drift.

Key Seasons - when is this

Dry Winged Trout Fly

most effective?
The Gordon 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 mayflies, which the fly imitates. During these months, trout are actively feeding on the surface, making the dry fly presentation ideal. The fly performs best in clear, calm conditions when the water is not too turbulent, allowing it to sit naturally on the surface. Early mornings and late afternoons, when insect activity peaks, are prime times to use this fly for optimal results.

How does the Turrall Gordon Quill Dry Winged Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Gordon Quill Dry Winged Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the adult stage of the mayfly, specifically during its emergence. This fly represents the delicate and enticing moment when the mayfly transitions from water to air, a stage known as the dun. During this period, the mayfly is vulnerable, making it an irresistible target for trout. The fly's design, with its quill body and delicate wings, closely resembles the natural appearance and movement of the mayfly, enticing fish to strike. Trout are particularly drawn to this stage as it offers an easy and nutritious meal, crucial for their diet.
