PLATE III. 



i 



contains specimens of five flies which will 

 be found very successful in raising Salmon. 



No. 1. is recommended as a spring fly, and 

 is to be composed of the following materials : 

 Wings, of the dark mottled brown or black- 

 ish feather of a turkey ; body, of orange cam- 

 let mixed with a little mohair; and a di sky 

 red, or bright brown cock's hackle, plucked 

 from the back where the fibres are longest, 

 for legs; hook, same size as represented in the 

 plate : and it is to be observed, that all large 

 Salmon flies should be dressed upon two or 

 three lengths of gut twisted together, and 

 that the silk in dressing be brought beyond 

 the shank of the hook, and wrapped four or 

 five times round the gut, so that the sharp- 

 ness of the steel may not speedily cut it.
