STREAMCRAFT 



either real or fancied. A smaller variety is 

 needed than is found useful in trout fishing. 

 Numbers 4, 5, and 6 will do nicely for general 

 work, and at times those as small as number 10 

 may be very successful, notwithstanding that 

 both large bass and trout are not rarely caught 

 at night on flies as gigantic as any ever used 

 for salmon, fished wet. Hair from a deer's tail 

 (the genuine bucktail product fox- or squirrel- 

 tail hair is inferior) is also a component part of 

 some of the most killing of bass patterns, and 

 in addition these are popular: Red Ibis, Par- 

 machene Belle, Dark Montreal, Royal Coach- 

 man, Bluebottle, Brown and Gray Hackles, 

 Jock Scott, Silver Doctor, Grizzly King, Pro- 

 fessor, Ferguson, Lord Baltimore, Governor Al- 

 ford, Colonel Fuller, Babcock, Butcher. In the 

 subsequent descriptions of the patterns of the 

 most commonly used trout flies, the following 

 ten are not listed: 



(NOTE. When the tail caudal stylets or whisks of an artificial fly 

 is not specifically noted as being made of hackle, it may consist of delicate 

 strips of some other feather and usually coarser than hackle-fibers.) 



JOCK SCOTT (much diversified) : 



Wings, mixture of yellow mottled and gray mottled, with 



scarlet and yellow mid-strips outside, and jungle-cock 



and blue shoulders; 

 Body, anterior half black, outer half yellow with black tip, 



and whole ribbed with white silk; 



Legs, mixed black and mottled black and brown hackle; 

 Tail, yellow with scarlet root. 



(This is also a famous salmon fly.)
