Quill Gordon Dry Fly: A foundational Catskill-style dry fly created by Theodore Gordon in the late 1890s to early 1900s. Gordon, known as the Father of American dry fly fishing, designed it to fish the faster waters of the Neversink and other Catskill rivers
Effective Early Season Mayfly Imitation: Accurately represents the Quill Gordon mayfly (Epeorus pleuralis), one of the first important hatches of the season
Premium Traditional Construction: Hand-tied with a stripped peacock quill body for a realistic segmented appearance, upright wood duck wings, and quality hackle for excellent flotation
Versatile Early Season Pattern: Performs well on freestone rivers and streams during the Quill Gordon hatch in spring; highly effective for brown and rainbow trout
Timeless Classic Dry Fly: One of the most historic and influential American dry fly patterns, still widely used more than a century after its creation
