Blue Quill Emerger

I was in desperate need for these this weekend. I had no internet connection, and no recipe's to tie this fly. I tied one up just guessing, and it did alright. Lets see your recipe's/pictures

Thats a good one. I use a quill body though but both work very well!

Don't have pics yet but Bob Clouser showed me one that instead of using a quill use a small , i mean small amount of dubbing covered with varying degrees of blue/grey uni cord for the quill , the dubbing , in a small amount adds a little extra. The fly is also alot more durable than the actual quill version.

u can use a very a small amount of dubbing like osprey said and rib it with a piece of light tippet to give it the quill look
