(fig. 7) in the four or five last coils of this wind- 

 ing. 



4. Bring another hook, I, into the position 

 shewn in fig. 7, and attach it to the gut E C F, by 

 winding the same thread, c d, round its shank and 

 the gut. Then wind c d two or three times 

 round the gut only (close to the end of the hook) 

 and back again two or three coils over the shank, 

 to form the head of the Palmer. 



5. Tie in (with the same thread, c d) another 

 hackle, K L, by the but, together with three pea- 

 cock's hurls, M N. 



6. Wind the thread c d with the peacock's 

 hurls, spun or rather twisted on it, back to C, and 

 make it fast there (or hold it tight), but do not 

 cut off the remnant. Also wind the hackle K L 

 over the dubbing of peacock's hurl back to C, 

 and tie it, picking out any strands which may 

 happen to be tied in, and snip off the ends of 

 KL. 



7. Now wind the remaining dubbing-spun piece 

 of silk (c d) over the coils of thread and the shank 

 of the first mentioned hook down to E, bind it 

 there with the well-waxed thread A B ; wind also 

 the hackle G H over the dubbing down to E, make 

 all fast by means of the thread A B and the invi- 

 sible knot ; snip off all the remnants, and your red 

 Palmer (see fig. 45, page 19) will be ready to make 

 a pilgrimage in search of a Trout.
