Quill Gordon

Clone

The Quill Gordon is a Catskill classic tied with a stripped peacock quill body that creates a delicate, segmented silhouette. It imitates the Epeorus pleuralis mayfly and is one of the first major hatches of the eastern trout season, signaling spring's arrival on Appalachian streams.
