Gerri,

I'll get the quills in the mail before the end of the week. Here are a couple flies I tied with them. I have not fished them, they were just for fun.

In both cases, the porcupine quill is the body of the fly. For the damselfly I flattened the quill a little before tying it in. The quills are round and I was looking for an oval profile. The ribbing effect is done by wrapping the quill with wire and then unwrapping it. The quill is pliable enough that the wire leaves indentations. For the drake, I cut off the tip of the quill and epoxied a couple stripped hackles to mimic the tail.

Regards,

Alberto
