An absolute classic. I wish I fished this more often, originating in the Catskills, this mayfly imitation is a killer. Fished on top in sizes 14-18, typically in May-June. When mayfly hatches are popping, you better grab a Quill Gordon or some variation, because trout and salmon gorge themselves on just about anything floating on top that looks remotely like a mayfly. You should always have a few of these tucked away in your dry fly box!
