Info

Duck quills, also known as mallard quills or mallard primary wing feathers, are sourced from the wings of mallard ducks. These quills are characterized by their webby and thicker feather fibers. They find frequent use in crafting winged wet flies, dry fly wings, and no hackle dry flies. Typically, they are available for purchase as "matched pairs," with one quill from each wing of the bird. This matching makes it easier to align and combine slips of quills when creating wings for various fly patterns. Some popular patterns that make use of duck quills include the Ginger Quill, Henryville Special, Royal Coachman, and Lawson's No Hackle PMD, among others. These quills are valued by fly tyers for their natural qualities that enhance the appeal and effectiveness of their fly creations.
