In dressing this fly, wing as usual : spin the 

 hare fleck between, the ends of a short length of 

 pale yellow tying-silk, as previously described 

 (p. 12), fasten this to the shank of the hook like 

 an ordinary hackle, then proceed to bind in whisk 

 and quill for body ; work and fasten in body, hold- 

 ing the hare-fleck hackle in the pliers ; take three 

 or four turns of it at shoulder close behind the 

 wings ; secure the end of this imitation hackle, 

 carry tying-silk between the turns of it to the head ; 

 where finish and varnish. Arrange, and if neces- 

 sary, pick out the hare-fleck with the dubbing- 

 needle to form legs.
