The Red Quill, an iconic fly pattern, is an exceptional imitation of the mayfly species Ephemerella subvaria, designed for the Hendrickson hatch in the East. Renowned for its vibrant red body and delicate wings, it excels during mayfly hatches in late spring to early summer. Ideal for clear, flowing waters, it’s presented with a gentle drift to attract discerning trout. This pattern is celebrated for its realism and buoyancy, making it a preferred choice among anglers during peak hatch periods.
