>k was published. Even a body of sponge— 
1 it makes a very good body for imitation of 
house-fly for dace, etc , also for the Harry- 
glegs and similar brown-bodied flies—floats if 
las been soaked in best odorless paraffin and 
>wed to dry. Mention of dubbing reminds me 
’ t ‘Val Conson’ recently sent me a dark olive 
other dun, with a body of dubbing, which 
tided bear’s hair. Re asked me what I thought 
it, and added that there was mighty little the 
,dern fly-tier could teach Cotton and the fly- 
ts of his and the next century. They took 
nite pains to match the wings, and esoecially 
bodies, of their flies, by blending perhaps a 
' en or twenty materials in making their dubb- 
I. which represented at once the body, and 
h a few hairs picked out also the legs of the 
I Although I think celluloid makes the nearest 
tation to the smooth, transparent, glossy body 
The natural duns, I quite agree with Mr. Hai¬ 
l'd as to the value of a good dubbing. I told 
j 1 Conson’ I liked his fly immensely, and 
hed I could make as good a one. In my 
|>k, ‘Walton and Some Earlier Writers on 
j fling’ (published in 1903), when referring to 
I t quaint little book, ‘Barker’s Delight,’ which 
| ie between Lawson and Walton, I said: 
re’s a hint from Barker (probably the first 
gestion for making flies float) which may he 
assistance to some amateur maker of fishing 
: for dry-fly fishing: 
1 ' “Once more, my good brother, I'll speak in 
thy ear; 
Hog’s, red-cow’s, and bear’s wool, to float 
j < best appear.” ’ 
ft will be seen, Barker, who wrote over 250 
rs ago, rubs in his tip to use dubbing of the 
of the animals mentioned, because it ap- 
f ' -s to float better. Alexander Mackintosh, who 
te and fished over a hundred years ago, says: 
nember, with all your dubbing to mix bear’s 
' and hog’s wool, which are stiff, and not apt 
[ mbibe the water, as the fine furs and most 
rr kinds of dubbing do.’ 
| think dyed hog’s wool makes a better dubb- 
f a sa lrnon fly than any other material, and 
| is why so many of the Irish salmon and 
; it flies are such good killers; not much fo 
at in a shop, but put them in a window in 
j: sunlight, and see the effect—every little 
ikied hair is all aflame; the hair takes the 
1 so well, and remains glossy and transparent.”
