LOW WATER TWEED-FLIES. 101 



No. 9. Body, black mohair ; orange tag ; black 

 hackle ; silver twist ; teal wings, small bit of red 

 under them ; tail, yellow mohair. Hook, No. 9 

 and 10. 



This fly is of the smallest Tweed size, and the 

 large flies (all of them after patterns by Mr. 

 Forrest, of Kelso) may be reduced to the same 

 dimensions for clear, low, summer water. 



Take notice that the wings of all the above 

 flies are put on separately, each wing consisting 

 of an undivided collection of the fibres of the 

 feather of which it is made. They are of the 

 " Tweed-fashion wing," alluded to in describing 

 Plate No. v., and their shapes may be seen in the 

 representations marked No. 14. and No. 15. in 

 the above-mentioned plate. A few of the Tweed- 

 flies, like that marked No. 4. in this list, have 

 wings, each of which consists of a whole feather, 

 stem and all, and merely stripped of the down at 

 the root or quill-end.
