Ginger Quill Variant

Ginger Quill Variant

The Ginger Quill is traditionally tied with Mallard wing, but I much prefer Mallard flank for this application as with most all of my dun-winged Catskill patterns. I substitute Dark-barred Ginger hackle for the tail in this pattern as well. One of my favorite patterns to tie, and timeless when it comes to performance on the water.
