FLY PATTERN:    Blue Quill
					Materials:
					Tail:  Dark Microfibbets
					Body back:  Grey Quill
					Body Front:  Grey dubbing
					Wing post:  Hi-Vis
					Hackle:  Grey/Silver or Grizzly
					Hook:       Orvis 4641 size 18 1X fine
					Thread:     Uni-thread grey 8/0
				Step 1:	Begin this pattern with your thread at the back of the hook.  With the thread firmly attached tie in three or four microfibbets.  The microfibbets should be just longer than the length of the hook shank.  Start up the hook shank and attach wrapping back.  Once at the back add a wrap under the microfibbets to give the tail a permanent slight upturn.
				Step 2:	Tie in the grey colored quill by the small tip and secure with a few wraps of thread.  Take the thread forward until there is only about a third of the hook shank left.  Once the thread is in place then wrap the quill forward and tie it off.
				Step 3:	This is a post pattern, so at this point it is time to tie in the post.  I  usually tie th Hi-Vis in by the center of the material and then bring the pieces together and tie to be upright.  NOTE:  The thread is the heaviest material used on this fly, so less is better on the post.  By using too much you will make the fly front heavy.
				Step 4:	Tie in the hackle a few wraps back of the post.  With th hackle secure, make a few dubbed wraps behind the post and to the eye of the hook.  Wrap the hackle three time behind the post and two times in front of the post.  NOTE:  Another common dry fly error is overhackling; it does not take much for the proper sillhouette...
				Step 5:	To finish this fly whip finish at the eye after wrapping off the hackle.  Trim any errant hackle fibers, and then trim the post at a slight down angle from the front and just above the hackle.
