The Olive Quill Wet Winged Trout Fly is a classic choice for anglers seeking to entice trout in both rivers and still waters.

Its design features a slender olive quill body, soft hackle, and delicate wings that mimic emerging insects, making it irresistible to trout.
Known for its versatility, the Olive Quill excels in various water conditions, particularly during mayfly hatches. Its natural appearance and subtle movement in the water column make it a reliable option for both novice and seasoned anglers..

- Fishing Techniques.
The Olive Quill Wet Winged Trout Fishing Fly is best used in rivers and streams where trout are actively feeding on emerging insects. To maximise effectiveness, employ a downstream presentation, allowing the fly to drift naturally with the current. Use a dead-drift technique, ensuring the fly moves at the same speed as the water. For retrieves, a slow, steady hand-twist retrieve can mimic the movement of an emerging insect, enticing strikes. Tactics include targeting riffles and seams where trout are likely to be holding, and using a light tippet to enhance the fly's natural presentation.

Key Seasons - when is this

Wet Winged Trout Fly

most effective?
The Olive Quill Wet Winged Trout Fishing Fly is most effective during the spring and autumn months when trout are actively feeding on emerging insects. In spring, focus on the period from March to May, aligning with the hatching of olives and other mayflies. Autumn, particularly September to October, is also prime as trout prepare for winter. This fly excels in overcast conditions or when the water is slightly coloured, mimicking the natural appearance of emerging insects. Use it in rivers and streams with moderate flow for best results, especially during the late morning to early afternoon when hatches are most prolific.

How does the Turrall Olive Quill Wet Winged Trout Fly imitate a key stage in a fish's diet?
The Olive Quill Wet Winged Trout Fishing Fly is designed to mimic the emerging stage of the Blue-Winged Olive, a common mayfly in UK waters. This fly represents the subimago stage, where the insect transitions from nymph to adult, a critical moment when it is vulnerable and abundant. Trout target this stage due to the mayfly's increased visibility and reduced mobility, making it an easy meal. The fly's olive body and delicate wings replicate the natural appearance, enticing trout to strike as they instinctively recognise it as a nutritious and readily available food source.
