In this week’s episode of Tying Tuesdays, watch as Brady Laher ties the Magi Quilldigon! Whenever a new fly tying material comes out, I want to experiment with it. The new Hareline Magic Quills are no exception. If you have ever tied with any of the various natural quills available, you know they aren't the easiest material to work with. They are brittle and inconsistent. The Magic Quill is a great substitution and solution to this problem. They are tapered and give perfect elegant segmentation every time. Using them to tie a Quilldigon was a no brainer, and makes for a very effective fly. They create a smooth body without having to add a UV coating, which helps this overweighted pattern slip through the water into the zone. This pattern is perfect for a Euro nymphing setup and will fish well under an indicator too!
