wings, so the last hackle should be wound on 

 pretty close up to the end of the hook, just leav- 

 ing room for finishing off. When tying these 

 grubs on hooks larger than 3/0 or 4/0, three 

 joints or four sets of hackles should be tied. 



With very small flies there are no joints at all ; 

 but the hackle, body ma- 

 terial, and ribbing, are tied 

 in together after the tag (if 

 any) is formed. The body 

 is then formed and the 

 hackle wound on. If very 

 little hackle is required, 

 one side of it can be 

 stripped off. If the hackle 



is not Ions: enough, an- 



Fig. s c v 

 other can be added, care 



being taken to match the length of fibre.
