To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
71 lard's feather is found to answer very well ; the tail may be of yellow mohair, with a small tag of brown worsted, tipt with silver ; the body must be of black mohair, or worsted, rib- bed with gold twist, and hackled with a red feather from the neck of the game-cock; the wings must be made of a light-mottled mallard's feather, with a little brown worsted round the head. This last fly is an excellent killer in clear water.
The caper-kelzie, or cock-of-the-wood feather is found to answer well... in almost all the Highland rivers. The tail of the fly must be yellow, from the crest of the golden phea- sant, with a tip of silver-thread ; make the body of black or purple mohair, rib it with three turns of gold or silver-twist, or tinsel, and carry a jet-black hackle by the side of the tinsel upwards, as far as the shoulders ; a little orange pig's wool may be put on below the wings ; the wings must be made of the fine black-and-white-mottled feather from the caper-kelzie. Such is the fineness and deli- cacy of the caper-kelzie feather, that the bodies of flies, the wings of which are made 72 THE NORTHERN ANGLER ; with it, may be varied in a great many ways so as to suit salmon, gilse and sea-trout.
