Duns Description:
The Blue Quill duns are redish brown and the wings are a bale gray and after they hatch, they tend to float on the surface of the water for a distance before flying away. When the water is cold as is often in the first part of a hatch, they will float as far as 30 feet. The trout are happy to feed on these duns which do not require a great deal of the trout’s energy. Do not forget these Blue Quills will hatch for a month or longer than the Quill gordons, so do not expect to find heavy concentrations of them. However, you will find them for several days in .a row.
Dun Presentation:
When fishing the smooth edge of the current seams or calm pocket in rough water use a straight up and down presentation. In other types of water, such as the ends of long slow runs, or the tails of pools, use a down and across presentation to get the desired drag free drift. Also, some duns will get swept away by the faster water seam near the slower water. In this situation, the duns will drift on the surface for several feet and as the water warms up.
