Bob Quigley, another legend gone

[Dave Boyle]

Just got this from a buddy.

Bob Quigley Passes - Fly Fisherman

Bob Quigley was one of the greatest tiers of his generation. He refined and shared the techniques (and the flies) that are now standard on difficult waters such as Hat Creek, Hot Creek, and the Fall River.

I love his cripple patterns re midge and callibaetis emergers. Sounds like he was quite the innovator but also in other tying areas I’ll need to explore more.

Rip,

Dave

Wait a second. Is this news 11 years old or am I in some type of vortex. It is taco Tuesday and I did have a margarita with dinner.

Dammit, I bet my f*ckin wife put the worm in mine…

Edit…oops.

Heart was in the right place.

I caught a lot of picky trouts on his flies that I probably wouldn't have otherwise.

I mean, why not mourn him 11 years later if you didn’t the first time around? Pretty sure the Film Critic has caught me more spring creek fish than I deserved.

 

[Dave Boyle]

Oops, oh well as noted my bud said he’d passed and so I’m a parrot. Still sad for me regardless, I love his emergers and they work so well.

One day I may be more enlightened…

I loved his emergers

One positive out of this whole ordeal, his flies still work!

Kidding aside, by far one of my favorite fly tyers.

Big fan of his cripple patterns #18' and #20. When all else fails put on a Quigley.
Or why wait and start with one.
