Red Quills and Hendrickson Flies

Wed, 03/06/2013 - 10:46 -- jmaslar

The Red Quill and the Hendrickson are not two different mayflies but indeed they are the same aquatic insect. The Hendrickson is the correct common name of the mayflies. The Red Quill however can be a catch all term. It is a common name often used for several species of Mayflies including the Quill Gordons, and Sulphurs.  However, when the term Red Quill is associated with the Hendricksons, it refers to the male spinner because the males are indeed a dark rusty red color. The female spinners are much lighter in color and would not fit the term Red Quill.
