About the Gordon Quill (UK) Trout Fly
An excellent high riding fly.
Theodore's first flies were tied from instuctions and materials sent by F M Halford, he soon began to imitate insects on his home waters. The first and most famous were the Gordon and the Gordon Quill;
They are outstanding flies that have been taking trout for over 100 years. Their ability to represent various naturals is often helped by slightly varying the dressings to the naturals on the water, this Theodore did!
