The re- mainder are no doubt well known to the experienced Angler by some denomination or other ; but as name can add little to his information or success, when he has the representation before him, they will be des- cribed in the order in which they appear on the plates, as follows : 96 PLATE III. i contains specimens of five flies which will be found very successful in raising Salmon. No. 1. Is recommended as a spring fly, and is to be composed of the following materials : Wings, of the dark ...mottled brown or black- ish feather of a turkey ; body, of orange cam- let mixed with a little mohair; and a di sky red, or bright brown cock's hackle, plucked from the back where the fibres are longest, for legs; hook, same size as represented in the plate : and it is to be observed, that all large Salmon flies should be dressed upon two or three lengths of gut twisted together, and that the silk in dressing be brought beyond the shank of the hook, and wrapped four or five times round the gut, so that the sharp- ness of the steel may not speedily cut it.
