THE SALMON FLY. 203 



THE ROUGH GROUSE. G.S. 



(CRUIKSUANK'S VARIETY.) 



TAIL. A few fibres of yellow Macaw's hackle. 

 BODY. Black Berlin wool (short). 

 EIBS. Silver tinsel. 

 HACKLE. Grey Heron from third turn. 

 THBOAT. Black and white speckled Turkey. 

 WINGS. Black and white speckled Turkey (strips). 



A splendid fly on the Spey in dull wet weather. The pattern can be 

 varied for other rivers, when it may have either " mixed " or " built 

 wings," and an ordinary Cock's hackle where Heron's do not serve 

 faithfully; but the speckly characteristics in both parts of the fly must be 

 maintained. I have done better with this fly when using the Crown 

 Pigeon instead of Grey Heron. 



ROY NEAL. G.S. 



(KELSON.) 



TAG. Gold twist and mouse-coloured Seal's fur. 

 TAIL. Tippet, Ibis and Summer Duck in strands, and two points of Jungle 



(back to back). 

 BUTT. Black herl. 



BODY. Gold tinsel (oval) three parts, followed by red Seal's fur. 

 EIBS. Silver tinsel (oval). 

 HACKLE. A natural blue-dun, from second turn; and a hen Pheasant 



dyed red, from Seal's fur. 

 WINGS. Two long Jungle (back to back), Swan dyed red and yellow, 



Bustard, Golden Pheasant tail, and two toppings. 

 SIDES. Summer Duck. 



This is one of the best patterns in dirty water. I invariably use it on the 

 Earn, Tweed, Usk, Spey ; and in very high water on the Lochy.
