THE LESSON 33 



it is necessary to tie in the former as described 

 in making a butt (see Fig. 6). In the case of the 

 latter, the wool is spun round the tying silk as 

 in making a body of mohair, and tied down by 

 the winding of the silk. 



The description given of how to build the 

 wing is sufficient for all practical purposes, but 

 we will just add a further illustration wherein 

 whole feathers are used in forming the wings of 

 such flies as the " Ranger " series. In this case 

 two long jungle cock feathers laid back to back 

 are first bound down on the top of the hook, 

 and these are followed by golden pheasant tippet 

 feathers, which are also laid back to back in pairs, 

 the first and longest coming to the eye of the 

 jungle cock, the second to the black bar of 

 the first pair, then finishing with jungle cock 

 sides, chatterer cheeks, macaw horns and golden 

 pheasant topping over all, secured in the same 

 manner as previously described. 



HOW TO FINISH THE HEADS OF SALMON FLIES 



The tying silk A, Fig. 1, should be carried 

 up to the top of the head, and brought back 

 about three turns. Then form with it the loop 

 B, bringing the end under itself at C. Take 



loop B in the fingers, and wind four turns round
