bronze head. Hook B or BB. This will be 

 found a great killer in the Ness and Beauley, a 

 beautiful stream at the head of the Murray 

 Firth. 



No. 3. Body yellow-brown pig hair, ribbed 

 with gold, small , topping for tail, red cock's 

 hackle and blue jay, wings of golden pheasant 

 tail, mixed with mallard, neck feather, teal, and 

 guinea hen, green parrot and macaw feelers, 

 and a black head. Hook No. 9 or B ; for low 

 water, G. This is a capital fly for either the 

 Ness or Beauley. These, with the painted 

 flies, made small, will suit well. 



There is a kind of yellowish slimy weed on 

 the bottom of the Ness which proceeds from 

 Loch Ness, that is injurious to the propagation 

 of the salmon of late years, and it affects the 

 fly fishing considerably, to the great disappoint- 

 ment and vexation of the good anglers of the 

 north.
