It will be found a " killer " in large pools 

 surrounded with trees in stormy weather, and 

 in raj^id streams running into or near the sea, 

 where they take it most likely for a shrimp, as 

 it corresponds in color. The legs are composed 

 of about six hackles of a real blue dun old 

 cock-saddle feather, having a motley yellowish 

 hue, and peacock harl head, rather full ; the 

 body is made of orange pig hair and yellow 

 mohair mixed, the former drawn out amongst 

 the fibres of the hackles, which must be struck 

 on two at a time, commencing at the tail, till 

 it is all built up to the head, where there may 

 be three hackles to make it fuller, — it would 

 be as well to have a small swivel at the head, 

 that it might spin gently round when moved in 

 the water. No. 9 hook, or small grilse size for 

 large trout. It may be varied with gold, old 

 dun cock's hackles, and red body. 



No. 8 is a beautiful specimen of a gaudy fly. 

 The wings, which are finely mixed of rich 

 feathers, are made of the following sorts : — 

 orange, yellow, and blue macaw body feathers, 

 three strips of each ; teal, bustard, and golden 

 pheasant neck feathers broken in strips ; silver 

 pheasant tail, light brown golden pheasant tail
