Gordons Quill Dry Winged Trout Fly

from the Turrall Dry Winged Trout Fly Collection.

The Gordon's Quill Dry Winged Trout Fly is a classic choice for anglers seeking to entice trout with precision. Originating in the early 20th century, this fly was designed by the renowned fly-tier, Theodore Gordon, often hailed as the father of American dry fly fishing. Its design features a quill body, which mimics the natural appearance of mayflies, and delicate, upright wings that ensure a lifelike presentation on the water's surface.
Known for its effectiveness in clear streams, the Gordon's Quill is celebrated for its ability to float high and remain visible, making it a reliable option for both novice and seasoned anglers. Its historical significance and proven track record make it a must-have in any fly box..

- Fishing Techniques.
The Gordon's Quill Dry Winged Trout Fishing Fly is best utilised 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 a drag-free presentation. Use a light tippet to enhance the fly's natural movement. Employ a dead-drift technique, occasionally twitching the fly gently to mimic the subtle movements of an emerging insect. For retrieves, a slow, steady hand-twist retrieve can be effective in enticing strikes from wary trout. Adjust your casting angle to match the wind and water conditions for optimal presentation.

Key Seasons - when is this

Dry Winged Trout Fly

most effective?
The Gordon's 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 prolific hatches of mayflies and other aquatic insects, making it an ideal time to use this fly. During these months, trout are actively feeding on the surface, and the fly's design mimics the natural appearance of emerging insects.
Conditions such as overcast skies and mild temperatures enhance its effectiveness, as trout are more likely to rise. Additionally, using this fly during the late afternoon or early evening, when hatches are at their peak, can yield the best results.

How does the Turrall Gordons Quill Dry Winged Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Gordon's Quill Dry Winged Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the adult stage of a mayfly, specifically during its emergence from the water. This fly represents the delicate and vulnerable moment when the mayfly transitions from a nymph to a dun, resting on the water's surface to dry its wings. Trout are particularly attracted to this stage as the mayfly is an easy target, unable to escape quickly. The fly's quill body and upright wings replicate the natural appearance and behaviour of the mayfly, enticing trout to strike with precision and enthusiasm.
