Devin Olsen's Quilldigon (3 colors)

Note: the FM jigs these flies are tied on run about 1.5 sizes larger than labeled. Please factor that into your decision on which size to purchase in addition to the bead size.

Stripped peacock quills make perfect segmented bodies which imitate the natural color patterns on mayflies. The only issue is that they are fragile and often shred after a few fish. However, when covered in resin for a perdigon style body they make the perfect material for representing small mayfly nymphs. The Quilldigon features this naturally effective material combined with a turn of pearl flash at the rear to set it apart from natural mayfly nymphs in the drift. It has become one of my most reliable patterns anywhere that I fish. Small mayflies are nearly ubiquitous in trout streams around the globe and the effectiveness of this fly follows that pattern.
