The Quill Gordon dry fly is a historic fly pattern with a simple design and enduring effectiveness. Here’s what you need to know: The fly was developed in the late 1800s by Theodore Gordon, often referred to as the “Father of American Dry Fly Fishing.” The fly is credited for being one of the first American dry fly patterns and instrumental in popularising dry fly fishing in the United States. The fly was designed to imitate hatches of Ephemerella mayflies found in the Catskill rivers.
