THE DRIFFIELD ANGLE*. 155 



mottled grouse feather, of a reddish brown, 

 from the neck of the coek ; the hook No. 7. 



How to ??iake this fly. Take a small even 

 silk-worm gut, and half a yard of silk, well 

 waxed, with the hook between the finger and 

 thumb of the left hand ; take your silk and 

 make two laps round the hook, within the 

 tenth of an inch of the bend, wax the end of 

 the gut and lay it on the inside of the shank ; 

 then begin to lap the gut to the hook all the 

 way up till you come within the twelfth of an 

 inch of the end of the shank, make one 

 noose ; then take the hackle and strip off the 

 rfowny part from the stem, and lay the 

 back of the stem on the back of the hook, 

 make two or three laps round the hook, gut, 

 and feather, till you have nearly covered all 

 the shank, only leaving as much as to make 

 two turns round the hook and gut, till the 

 hook is nearly covered with the lapping; 

 bring the silk back to the inside of the stem > 

 nrake one noose and cut away the end of the 

 stem ; take a little of the dubbing and twirl
