22 SALMON FLIES 



Having thus considered the anatomical parts 

 of salmon flies generally, the reader will now 

 perhaps be in a position to grasp the main 

 points in the following classification, which has 

 been drawn up after due consideration of the 

 fly-dresser and angler alike. 



Salmon flies seem to fall naturally into six 

 great groups viz., (I.) General flies, (II.) Dee 



from written directions. For the Jock Scott our model 

 the dressing may be given thus : 



Tag. Silver tinsel (oval). 

 Butt. Ostrich herl (black). 



Tail. A topping and Indian Crow (laid on flat, best 

 surface uppermost). 



Body. Jointed in two equal halves. Posterior joint of 

 lemon floss ribbed with fine silver tinsel (oval), butted 

 with (black) Ostrich herl, and veiled above and below 

 with Toucan. Anterior joint of black floss ribbed with 

 broader oval or flat tinsel (in the latter case reinforced 

 with twist), and a natural black domestic cock's hackle. 



Throat. Gallina. 



Wings. Two strips of black white-tipped Turkey tail 

 set on back to back ; over these married fibres of yellow 

 Swan, Florican, scarlet Swan, Bustard, grey Turkey tail, 

 and Golden Pheasant tail ; over these a strand of Peacock 

 sword feather and married strips of Teal and Summer 

 Duck ; and over all a strip of brown Mallard. 



Sides. Jungle Cock. 



Cheeks. Blue Chatterer. 



Topping. Golden Pheasant crest. 



Horns. Blue and yellow Macaw over all.
