THE DRIFFIELD AKGLEH. 5 



formed of one piece of wire fastened to a 

 good link of gimp ; it must be composed of 

 very gaudy materials, such as the feathers of 

 the gold and common pheasant, peacock, 

 mallard, &c. with the brown and sdftest part 

 of bear's fur, a little dark and reddish mo- 

 hair, with yellow and green mohair for the 

 body, and four or five turns of gold twist 

 slanting round the body ; the head must be 

 formed of a little dark brown mohair, some 

 gold twist, and two small black beads for the 

 eyes ; the body about three inches long, and 

 made rough, full, and round ; the wings not 

 parted, but to stand upright on the back, and 

 some smaller feathers continued thence all 

 down the back to the end of the tail, so that 

 where you finish they may be left a little longer 

 than the hook, and the whole to be about 

 the thickness of a torn- tit, and near three 

 inches long, 



N. B. These sort of flies, and all other 

 artificial bjaits for Pike, are to be had of 

 Mr. Ustenson, in the Strand, Mr. Chevalier, 

 and other tackle-makers, in London,
