Nicholas Sutherland –
Fished during early spring in New York and it worked perfectly. The trout were very picky and this pattern got them biting consistently. A must-have for early season anglers.
Yvonne Ferguson –
Used in central Illinois and saw good results. The imitation feels natural and the trout reacted well. A bit more delicate than other patterns, but worth it for finicky fish.
Stephen Sutherland –
Caught several trout in Ohio using the Blue Quill during the first week of May. The pattern matched the hatch exactly and was easy to cast without spooking the fish.
