FLIES 89 



nated since the publication of Mrs. Marbury's 

 " Favorite Flies and their Histories " and other 

 standard works. For that reason I deem it advisable 

 to give a brief mention of some of these flies which 

 include some of the most effective patterns known to 

 present-day fishermen. 



A. S. Trude. This fly was originated in 1900 by 

 Hon. Carter H. Harrison and named for his friend, 

 A. S. Trude, an attorney-angler of Chicago. Scarlet 

 body with one winding of gold tinsel; brown hackles; 

 wings from tail of fox squirrel, showing the dark bar. 



Bucktail Minnows. A series of flies with bodies, 

 hackles and wings of bucktail hair. Bodies wound 

 with gold or silver tinsel. Tied variously by a num- 

 ber of fly tiers. Designed to imitate a live min- 

 now. 



Col. Fuller. Originated by 1899 by John Shields, 

 Sr., of Brookline, Mass. Named for the late Col. 

 Fuller, a noted Boston sportsman, who used it with 

 great success on the Belgrade Lakes in Maine. There 

 is considerable variation in the tying of this fly. The 

 original pattern had a gold tinsel body with a gold rib ; 

 peacock herl head ; wing bright yellow ; outer wing or 

 shoulder, scarlet ; tail black. 



Dazzler. Originated in 1918 by Bert Crawford, 

 St. Joseph, Mo. Striking bass flies of hair and feath- 

 ers highly decorated with tinsel. 



Devil Bug. Originated in 1917 by O. C. Tuttle, 

 Old Forge, N. Y. A series of odd-looking trout and 

 bass flies of bucktail, made in various sizes and shapes
