The Red Quill Soft Hackle is a pattern I used in late April on Kettle Creek last spring with great success. We traditionally head north to Kettle Creek every year on the last weekend of April. Kettle is a large freestone stream in northern Pennsylvania which has some great mayfly hatches. One of those hatches which regularly comes off that time of year is the Red Quill, and this year was no different. I had a great evening down by the Liedy Bridge catching one after another on wet flies.
In this video I quickly take the time to show you how to strip your own peacock quills. Right now in the industry one of the hardest things to keep in stock or get our hands on for that matter is stripped peacock quills. they are actually pretty simple to make, they just take a little time. If you need any of the materials to tie this fly please go to our website www.holsingers... for all the materials in this fly. Like always thanks for watching and supporting our shop and channel.
