SEA-TKOUT FLIES CONCLUDED . 453 



one-third golden-yellow floss, the rest hare's ear ; hackle, 

 red (light transparent olive when held up to light) ; wing, 

 jay's wing with dark but to the feather. 



No. 5. Mallard tail ; medium orange floss body ; gold 

 thread ; wing and hackle, light tawny grouse hackle, only 

 at the shoulders, and clipped on the breast. 



No. 6. Tail, grey mallard ; body lightish olive-green 

 pig's wool roughish ; fine gold thread ; wing, a rather light 

 coloured bit of speckled cock pheasant tail, a wad of the 

 same being tied on at the breast as a hackle, and then 

 clipped. All these flies are of the smallest size used for 

 sea trout. 



With such a list of sea-trout flies as I have given in 

 the last seven or eight pages, scarcely any lake or river 

 in the kingdom can fail to be well suited.
