Sulphur Quill
Favorite Flies

After destroying many feather dusters for really good Chinese rooster hackles, then bleaching and dying them, they eventually end up on my hooks. Hopefully, the hook then magically attaches itself to a trout. I’ve always preferred a quilled fly because of its great buoyancy. Most quills marketed nowadays are over-bleached and crack even after a good soaking. Using a stop bath after bleaching prevents this problem.
