262 FLIES FOR THE INTER, 



guinea-hen hackle wound close by the silver twist, 

 and thickening and lengthening up to the shoulder; 

 wings, a full mixture of golden pheasant tail and 

 neck-feathers ; guinea-hen and teal feathers, blue 

 and yellow long macaw feelers, and bronze pea- 

 cock harl head. Hook, Nos. 5 and 6. 



This fly is as deadly as the latter, and better 

 suited for day-fishing in deep clear pools and 

 streams. As a general fly, I have the highest 

 opinion of it, and should never fail to try it 

 wherever I roamed, by known or unknown rivers. 



No. 3. Body, orange floss - silk ; yellow tag, 

 tipped with silver twist; above it black ostrich 

 and red tag ; to be ribbed with silver tinsel and 

 gold twist ; grouse hackle at centre of the body ; 

 teal hackle under shoulder. Wings, two neck- 

 feathers of the golden pheasant, over which a 

 mixture of brown and black, and white spotted 

 turkey tail-feather, with fibres also of the golden 

 pheasant tail-feather, and brown mallard ; feelers, 

 blue and yellow macaw ; yellow mohair over the 

 roots of the wing and black ostrich head ; tail, a 

 golden pheasant topping. Hook, No. 4. At this 

 size the fly is a large one, fit for the Shin in the 

 spring. For the summer, it should be made on 

 hooks three sizes smaller, and will kill best morn- 

 ing and evening. 



FOR THE RIVER INVER. No. 1. Body, pale-green 

 floss-silk; orange tag, tipped with silver twist.
