THE COCH-Y-BONDDHU 185 



tribe. The following are three different modes of 

 dressing it : 



RONALDS. 



Body : Black ostrich herl, twisted with peacock 



herl, and tied with red silk. 

 Wings and legs : Made buzz, with a dark furnace 



cock's hackle. 



FRANCIS. 

 Body : Dark copper-coloured peacock's herl, mixed 



equally with black ostrich. 

 Hackle : A dark-red hackle, with a black stripe 



up the centre. 



HALFORD. 



Body : Two or three strands of copper-coloured 



peacock's herl twisted together. 

 Hackle : Coch-y-bonddhu. 



The body may, for a change, be ribbed with 

 flat gold. 



Hooks o, i, or 2. 



The fly takes its name from the colour of the 

 hackle which is used in dressing the artificial 

 representation. 



FANCY FLIES. 



THE WICKHAM'S FANCY. 



I have already referred to the excellent qualities 

 of this fly, so repetition is needless. It is thus 

 dressed : 



HALFORD. 



Wings : Medium or light starling.
