In this fly tying video, Anglers All tying expert and Umpqua Signature Tyer, Daryl Eakins, shows us how to tie the Quill Perdigon from start to finish.
One of the cool things that Daryl shows us in this video, is how much fun you can have with just a few simple materials – and in the process, create a fly that looks good and fishes incredibly well. In many ways, the Quill Perdigon provides an ideal combination of features. It’s simple, it’s easy to tie, it’s effective in the water, and it’s very durable.
