MAKING AN ARTIFICIAL (Continued).

These are dressed just the same as an ordinary up- 6.

low as they can be on the body without splitting. In p^Y or 

 the large flies, as before stated (page 112), we prefer Sedge. 

 to tie them thus, so as to enable the fly to maintain 

 its correct shape. 



After tying on the body and hackle, tie in two 

 small medium stiff whole feathers as shown (fig. 24), 

 preferably taken from ■ right and left-hand wings. 

 When procurable, we prefer these eitfier natural or 

 dyed cinnamon, then over these the proper colour 

 of wings are tied in the usual manner (fig. 25.) Tied 

 thus, they keep their form exceedingly well, and float 

 first rate, which, in a big sedge fly, often adds very 

 much to its power of attraction. Fig. 26 shows a back 

 view. 



This is dressed with whole feathers, in place of a 7. 

 section of a feather, as in a split winged fly, but, in 



addition, some Peacock Herl is frequently used as a ^vjjqle 



head. The cycle of operations being : — Winged 



I. Tie on wings, head materials, and hackle 



(fig- 27).
