Feathersmith was born from the passion we have here at Feathersmith for fly fishing. We treat all of our flies as we would a piece of jewellery and look at each as a miniature work of art - it's all about quality materials and attention to detail.

All of our Feathersmith kits include access to a full step-by-step tying video, along with associated information on:

• The fly patterns history
• How to best fish the finished fly

This first in our 'Signature Series' of kits celebrates a classic Catskill style pattern - The Quill Gordon.

This pattern is perfect for targeting Spring and Summer Trout and is especially successful on the slower glides.

This Quill Gordon pattern is suitable for:

Target Species: Wild Brown & Rainbow Trout
Water Types: Rivers
Location: All Rivers
Tying Difficulty: Easy to Moderate

Our Quill Gordon 'Signature Series' kit contains:

• Hooks: BEKKR Catskill Size 14
• Wings: Mallard Flank Feather Dyed Wood Duck
• Tail: Strung Cock Hackle Dun
• Body: Peacock Herl Stripped
• Hackle: Whiting Hackle  Dun
  
• A Pre-Tied Sample Quill Gordon

Please Note: All our 'Signature Series' fly tying kits do not include any thread - each of the kits in the series only uses standard black 8/0 thread, which just about everyone already has - we didn't want to add to the pile of thread you already have!

Contained inside each kit is a label which will direct you to a secret page on our website where all the tying video and extra information can be accessed.

With the help of some professional fly tyers, we've identified some really beautiful and unique fly patterns, gathered together all of the materials from world-class and well-respected manufacturers (like Whiting & Ahrex) and then created a kit which allows you to tie one specific pattern - 15 of each.

Here's what's included when you purchase one of our 'Signature Series' kits:

• A kit full of world-class materials - more than enough to tie all 15 flies in the kit
• Information detailing the history of the fly you are tying
• A video tutorial of how to tie the fly - presented by a professional fly tyer
• Information on how to use and fish the finished fly

The other piece of advice you will always hear is "It's more expensive to tie your own flies than it is to buy them." - not anymore it isn't, our Feathersmith kits allow you to tie a stunning pattern with the very best materials available - all for a little more than £1 per fly - now that is great value.
