fasten off with the invisible knot of three coils.* 

 You will now possess a great red spinner complete, 

 provided always that you have seen a great deal 

 more of the art than you have read, and that you 

 have been yourself a tolerably good dubbing spinner. 



To make a Buzz- FLY with a hackle, (see fig. 5, 

 plate 5) the upper or pointed end of the hackle 

 must be tied at the tail E (fig. 3, plate 3) with 

 the ends of the materials of the body (by means of 

 the thread c, d) and the hackle must be wound up 

 over the dubbing, and fastened off with the thread 

 A B, after the gold or silver twist or other ribbing 

 has been wound on and fastened off with A B. 



If a Buzz-fly (as figs. 28 and 29, plate 13) is to 

 be made with any other feather than a hackle, the 

 feather should be stroked back, its pointed end 

 should be tied on at the shoulder B, fig. 4, plate 3, 

 of the fly, three or four coils of the feather should 

 be made round the part above B, and the stands 

 or fibres of the feather should be carefully picked 

 out, as the coiling proceeds, otherwise it will not 

 lie well. The but end of the feather must be 

 tied in at the head of the fly with the thread A B, 

 which must be fastened off as usual with the invi- 

 sible knot of three coils. 



* To make this knot : Make three loose coils over the fore ringer of 

 the left hand, pass the end of the thread under them, and draw each 

 coil tight by pulling each separately as it were.
