ANGLING REQUISITES, FOR SEASON 1887. 79 



FLUTTERING OR REVERSE WINGED FLIES. 



" In 1883 Messrs. Foster brought out Flies in which the wings were 

 reversed as shown in the cut. 



SPECIMEN FLY ENLARGED. 



" Since then this method of fly dressing has been, we see, redis- 

 covered and patented in America. These flatterers would evidently dry 

 well, and the wings would stand out well. They are really beautifully 

 made." Fishing Gazette, Sept. 25th, 1886. 



THE FLUTTERING FLY. 



From Mr. A. N. Cheney, author of " Fishing with the Fly," &c. : 

 " THE FLUTTERING FLY. Editor Forest and Stream. In Forest 

 and Stream for June 10, '86, 1 find a cut and description of a fly that Mr. 

 Holberton is stated to have invented and that Mr. Imbrie has patented. 

 In April or May, 1883, Messrs. D. and W. H. Foster, of Ashbourne T 

 England, sons of the late David Foster, author of ' The Scientific 

 Angler,' sent me flies tied exactly as the ' Fluttering Fly ' is repre- 

 sented in the cut above mentioned. The Messrs. Foster did not write 

 of these flies as being new or strange, but merely included them with 

 other flies without comment. How long they have been so fashioned 

 in England previous to 1883 I have no means of knowing at present.
