10 



turns of the tinsel is sufficient ; you then take 

 the hackle by the end m your right hand, and 

 roll it sideways in rotation with the tinsel, 

 twisting it in your finger and thumb as you 

 turn it over, to keep it slanting from the head, 

 tie it in at the same place with a running 

 knot, and clip off the ends of the hackle ; you 

 may tie in a short tail at this place, wax your 

 silk, and finish with two or three running 

 knots, cut off the tying silk, and touch them 

 with a little varnish, to keep them from slipping 

 — press down the hackle between your fingers 

 which slants it to the tail — as the hackle is 

 run over the body from the head to the tail of 

 this fly, it will appear in the formation of the 

 body (Plate III., on Salmon Hooks) ; when the 

 fly is made with the hackle only struck round 

 the shoulder, take two or three turns of it 

 under the wings, and tie it in there (see Plate 

 III., in an easy method of making a Salmon 

 Fly). The body may be seen in this fly with 

 the tinsel rolled over it, and tied in at the tail ; 

 a piece of the liarl, tinsel and silk left to shew 

 how it is done. The tinsel and harl are cut 

 off, and with the tying silk, which is seen 

 hanging, tie on a tail of topping, or mohair.
