To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The above list is part of the ordinary standard pat- terns. All the smaller gnats and duns, and indeed most of the smaller flies, can be very successfully imitated in the above material. Digitized by Google 140 FLY-FISHING AND FLY-MAKING. THE ABSOLUTELY SIMPLEST AND QUICKEST WAY TO MAKE A TROUT OR BASS FLY IN THE WOODS. This is the solution of a problem that occupied my attention quite a long time this last winter^ though it was presented to me by a small boy only. Said he, while watching me pu...tting a tiny quill-gnat together, *^That seems about the hardest kind of a ^ chore;' can't you show me the easiest way to make a fly ?" * It was for some days a poser, but I think I have got the solution, and if it benefits only one angler who finds himself in some out-of-the-way locality where abides no tackle-maker, I shall iiave my reward in his gratitude. And so, to plunge in medias res of the explanation, here is how to do it. Suppose you have a snelled hook in your possession ; you can find a piece of thread ; you also want a hackle from the neck of a rooster, and a couple of feathers from opposite sides of some bird, if possible ; and you also want something for the body — wool from your knit socks will do, or a tuft, dirty as it is, from the back of a sheep isn't so very objectionable.
