Evening gents..
Playing around with some true materials this weekend. Came up with some decent proborably fishcatching Quillies..

The killing duo..

Very nice.

I'm a bit weak on quill bodies, but here's one I've tied and fished over the last four months or so. Seems to work well for small caddis hatches:

Peacock quill, dyed?

Looks great.../Nik

Niklas,
Beautiful flies. Well done.
I tied up some quill-bodied wets a few months ago, but I ran a very thin amount of Flexament down the quills before I wrapped them, let it get sticky, lightly touched dubbed them, and then wrapped them. It gave the bodies a very nice halo effect. I finally got to try them out a couple of weeks ago and they were very effective. I am a big fan of quill bodied flies.

Excellent spiders! I love the look of the segmented quill abdomens. Beautiful work and terrific photography, too. Thanks for sharing.

PS - Please include detailed materials listing so we can add some of these to our fly boxes...

These indeed look fantastic, that is some nice clean tying. Love them!

NIK,
DROP DEAD GORGEOUS! NOTHING SAYS BUGGY LOOKING LIKE QUILL AND PEACOCK AND IN COMBINATION....WOW! YOU DO EXCELLENT WORK AND THE PHOTOGRAPHY IS GREAT! THE COLORS ON THE QUILLS IS WONDERFUL. I HAVE TROUBLE SOMETIMES PICKING OUT THE RIGHT COLORS. YOU HAVE DONE A GREAT JOB WITH THIS. WHEN DO THE CLASSES IN QUILL START?

No. Just bad herl. Yours are perfect.

Aaron

these are very nice like....I like the peacock in front and behind the hackle.

Do you guys coat the herl bodies with anything after tying?....like Sally Hansen or super glue?
