Description

The Quill Gordon is one of the most important patterns in the history of fly fishing, and it maintains a spot in the fly boxes of many anglers. Created in the late 1800s by Theodore Gordon. This pattern is considered the first American Dry Fly. It works well on all mayfly hatches in various colors.

Pro Tip

During non-hatch times, apply floatant generously and skate the fly across the water's surface to attract opportunistic trout looking for movement.
