Quill Body Klinkhamer

Since this is a fairly simple dry fly as far as the materials list goes, try not to go overboard on adding materials. This may make the fly become unbalanced or unproportionate, which can mess with the way the fly floats on the water. For a more distinct ribbing, try to add some extra small wire for a bit of shine. This also might help the fly float upright with the body in the water. For even more of a realistic mayfly pattern, try adding some tails, like Coq-de-Leon or pheasant tail. Tie this fly up in any color to match your favorite hatch!
