TYING THE FRESH- 
WATER SHRIMP 
{Continued from page 254) 
tinsel — but it keeps well up in midwater, 
acting much the same as a thick-body 
wet fly. Though not intended for fishing 
the surface of swift water, it looks so 
tempting and life-like as it floats along, 
for a short time it might possibly be 
taken by trout as a shrimp castaway in 
rapid water from its proper environment. 
In deep-water lake fishing two or three 
can be placed on the leader fished in the 
: manner of wet fishing, casting the shrimp 
just outside of weedy places and always 
allowed to sink and rest on the bottom a 
few moments either in lake or stream. 
F or the benefit of those anglers who 
tie their flies a brief description of 
how to tie a shrimp may be of service to 
make this simple lure, for indeed the 
amateur in his first attempt at the fas- 
I cinating art of fly-tying might well begin 
by making a shrimp by the aid of cuts 
here shown. 
j With a one-inch English partridge 
hackle and several longer whisks-strands 
for tail, tie them opposite each other at 
the shank-bend with fine black silk (Cut 
No. 1). You then squeeze the cork tight 
and with green silk that is fastened by a 
slip knot you begin to wind very tight 
over the hackle which is gathered to- 
gether along the shank. You gradually 
loosen the tightness for shaping the cork 
to enlarge at the middle, and so on to the 
head which is again made tight. Then 
I with the green silk left uncut, you next 
I tie a slip knot with fine silver tinsel over 
the black silk ; tie at tail-bend to wind and 
cover the green silk right to the hook- 
eye. Then take the green silk and wind 
! thick enough to make a fair-sized head 
j of green, leaving a little silver near hook- 
I eye. The last work is to pick out the 
I hackle from under the silver and green 
I winding with a fine-pointed needle, the 
i hackle then slips out to form the legs and 
arms of shrimp as shown in Cut No. 3. 
• If the English partridge hackle feather 
is not available any speckled feather 
from the American grouse will suffice for 
the legs. If anglers desire a pattern tied 
by the author to copy from, they can be 
1 bought upon application through the 
, Editor of Forest and Stream. 
I DOBBERS 
{Continued from page 259) 
M any of the cork floats we find now- 
adays in the shops are constructed 
i of ground-up cork, moulded into shape 
i with some waterproof binder or they 
, may be made of cork rings cemented to- 
ll gether. We find pear, barrel or round- 
;! shaped ones and all sizes from the little 
fresh water floats to the huge fellows 
! ; used at sea. The usual fastening is at 
tf the ends of the peg through the middle; 
• the line is half hitched around the upper 
1 ' end or run under a collar and then car- 
e ried down through a wire coil, ring, or 
t spring clip at the lower end of the peg. 
e| This method is all right for the bamboo 
pole, but for the rod and reel outfit it
