120 FLY-MAKING. 



tail-like appendages of the natural insect. These 

 must be tied in, at the bend of the hook, imme- 

 diately after the first operation of attaching the 

 hook and gut, and before the tying in of the 

 materials for the body. Two turns of the silk 

 are sufficient to secure them ; indeed, you must 

 be sparing of winding the tying-silk too much 

 at this end of the body, or you will make the fly 

 clumsy at the very place which ought to be parti- 

 cularly fine and neat. 



TO MAKE A WING-FLY. 



The operations are the same as those for 

 making a buzz-fly, as far as they go, the only 

 difference between the two classes being the addi- 

 tion of wings; except that the hackle, which in 

 the wing-fly is intended to represent legs only, 

 should have less plume, and be altogether on a 

 smaller scale than for a buzz-fly made on a hook 

 of the same size. This is illustrated in Jig. 21., in 

 which a represents a hackle 

 prepared for a wing-fly, 

 and b one prepared for a 

 fly made buzz. The tying 

 on of the wing must be 



effected after the hackle
