216 Wet-Fly Fishing 



XVIII. THE PARTRIDGE TAIL, OR "FROG- 

 HOPPER." 



Body. Yellow tying silk. 



Hackle. Hen's hackle light ginger. 



Wings. The mottled feather from the tail of the part- 

 ridge. 



Season. June. 



A good fly on the Clyde, and given by Webster in his 

 book, "The Angler and the Loop Rod." 



XIX. THE TOD-FLY. 



Body. Striped quill from the moon-feather of the pea- 

 cock, not dyed. 



Tail. Two strands of game-cock's hackle. 



Hackle. The soft and somewhat light mottled feather 

 taken from the inside of the wing of the woodcock. 



Wings. Mavis wing, inside of feather. 



Season. I look upon it as a good, generally useful fly, 

 and an excellent companion to Greenwell's Glory, to which 

 it forms a nice contrast.
