Page sized drawing of parts of a fly.] + + +{vii} + +INTRODUCTION + +The object of this book will be throughout its entirety to teach in a +practical manner the art of Fly Tying in all its branches. The +principles used herein, and the methods of construction employed, are +those used by the professional fly-tier who practices fly-making for the +sake of art, and tries to achieve with each finished fly, a masterpiece. + +None of the short-cuts employed by those whose business is quantity +production will be attempted. Only the making of flies of the very +highest quality and most durable construction will be attempted. +In describing the principals of construction with the following +illustrations, it will be impossible to describe in detail each +standard pattern; however, it must be remembered that the fundamentals +applying to each style of fly will be the principal bases of +construction of all flies of that style, and that the use of different +body materials, hackles, wings or size will simply change the pattern +and not the fundamental points of construction. + +Dressings for hundreds of standard patterns will be found fully +described elsewhere in this book. For clearness {viii} of understanding +please note that where a fly is described in this book as having grey +wings, or red body, etc., and no particular feather or material is +specified, it means that any feather or body material may be used. When +a particular feather, body, hackle, tail, etc., must be used it will be +so stated. + +Each year a steadily increasing number of anglers are learning to tie +their own flies. Not many years ago, there were few in America outside +of professional tiers who understood the art. Now on each angling trip, +at least one is sure to be met, who has discovered the great thrill of +taking fish on flies of his own tying. + +To those who are anticipating the making of their own flies for the +first time, there is the opportunity to exercise one's ingenuity in the +creation of new patterns. To prolong your fishing seasons throughout the +long winter evenings, in the confines of your own den, where, with a +supply of fur, feathers and tinsel, can be enjoyed a profitable, +artistic and pleasant hobby. And the thrill of seeing in each finished +imitation of Ephemeridae, Muscidae and Formicidae, a masterpiece to +bring the joy of living and dreams of spring to the angler's heart. + +Beginners are requested to reject any inclination to skip over the +first part of this book, nor to attempt the tying of the more delicate +and difficult dry flies before they have had sufficient preliminary +training. {ix} This book is so written that the easier flies to make are +the first encountered. Although you may not expect to use Bucktail +Streamers, the fundamental principles employed in their construction, +the knack of handling fur, feathers and tinsel, will be acquired, and a +sense of proportion will be realized. I sincerely encourage you to begin +at the beginning, and by careful and patient study the satisfactory +result will be the ability to make flies that are second to none. + +The illustrations in this book are all drawn to correct proportions +except the tying silk, which is purposely drawn large for clearness +of illustration. Follow these illustrations, and begin by making a +very careful study of Diagram 3, "Bucktails" (page 15). Here will +be learned how to overcome some of the difficulties encountered by +beginners. Many of the fundamentals learned in tying Bucktails are +used in tying all of the flies to follow. For instance, in putting +the wings or tail on a wet fly, the same method of holding the wing +between the thumb and finger and making the loose loop, are explained +as when putting the hair or tail on a Bucktail. Putting the wings on +a fly correctly seems to be the greatest difficulty encountered by +the beginner. Consequently, the necessity of carefully studying +Figs. 4, 5, 10, and 11 of Diagram 3 cannot be too greatly emphasized. +Before tying any other part of the fly, place a bare hook in the +vise, and practice tying on the tail, {x} and then the wings, until you +have mastered this knack, and have the wings and tail setting straight +on top of the hook, as in Figs. 4, 5, 10 and 11 of Diagram 3. First +using hair and then a section of feather. + +Other faults of the beginner where literal descriptions are followed +entirely or where illustrations are not drawn to correct proportions or +followed closely are as follows. The wings are usually too large, and +much too long for the size of the hook, and the tail is most always too +long, as are the hackles. The bodies seldom have a nicely tapered shape, +and most always start too far back on the hook shank. The ribbing is +seldom put on in even tight spirals. The hair on hair flies is always +too long, and too much is used. The head is too large, because the tying +silk is not wound tightly and smoothly. The eye of the hook on the +finished fly is filled with hair, tying silk, hackles and cement. + +I do not mean to criticize these common mistakes of the beginner. +Instead, I merely wish to call them to your mind, and assure you that +they are not necessary, and will not happen if you will diligently +follow instructions in this book. + + +{xi} + +[Illustration: Diagram 2. Page sized drawings of wet flies and feathers.] + + +{xii} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of tools.] + + +{1} + +TOOLS, HOOKS AND +MATERIALS + +Very few tools are required by the Fly-Tier. Those that are necessary +are inexpensive, and most of them can be homemade. However, as with any +other craft good tools are an asset. I advise the beginner to procure +the following: + +TOOLS + +Fly-Tiers' vise. There are many styles of fly-tying vises on the market. +The simplest is just a slot cut in a 3/8" piece of square steel with a +hacksaw, and a thumb screw to tighten the slot. This type of vise will +work all right, although rather clumsy and hard to tighten enough to +hold the hook truly. Another simple vise is just a small pin chuck, +soldered to one end of a 1/4" brass rod, bent at the desired angle, and +the other end of the rod soldered to a small C clamp. However, I prefer +a vise of the cam lever type. That is, a vise that has a cam lever for +opening and closing the jaws. These vises, of which there are +several makes, are {2} adjustable to various angles and hook sizes. They +will hold all sizes of hooks very firmly, and are easily and quickly +opened with a flip of the lever. + +Hackle Pliers. These can be purchased for about fifty cents and will +prove a worthwhile investment, as they are rather difficult to make +satisfactorily. + +Scissors. One pair with curved blades and sharp points for small flies +and one pair with small straight blades. A needle pushed into a stick, +for picking out hackles that are wound under, and for putting lacquer on +the finished head, completes the list of necessary tools. + +HOOKS + +Hooks used for fly-tying differ somewhat from those used for bait +fishing etc., inasmuch as they are usually hollow ground, and tapered +shank especially those used for dry flies. The tapered shank next to the +eye allows the head of the fly to be tied smaller, and also reduces the +weight of the hook, an advantage for dry flies. Of course flies may be +tied on any style or grade of hook, but considering the work involved in +making the fly, and realizing that with an old razor blade the fly can +be quickly removed from the hook should the first attempts prove +unsatisfactory, you will see the advantage in using good hooks. + + +{3} + +[Illustration: Page sized diagram showing drawings of hooks.] + + +{4} + +MATERIALS + +Materials used by the Fly-Tier cover an extremely large field. Although +only a few simple and easily obtained items are necessary for a start, +it is interesting to know that furs, feathers and body materials come +from all parts of the world. There's the jungle cock from India whose +neck feathers are extensively used on salmon flies and a very large +percentage of all fancy flies. The golden pheasant from China, the +bustard from Africa, the Mandarin wood duck from China, the capercailzie +from Ireland, the game cocks from Spain and the Orient, the teal, +mallard, grouse, ibis, swan, turkey, and hundreds of others. The polar +bear, Impala, North and South American deer, seal, black bear, skunk, +rabbit, squirrel, are a few of the hairs that are used. The beginner +need not worry about the great variety. Some hooks, silk floss and spun +fur or wool yarn and chenille for bodies, a few sizes of tinsel for +ribbing, bucktails of three or four colors, an assortment of duck and +turkey wing quills some mallard breast, an assortment of neck and saddle +hackles, a spool of tying silk, a piece of wax, a bottle of head +lacquer, and many of the popular patterns can be made. Numerous other +items can be added from time to time, and the novice Fly-Tier will soon +find himself in possession of a collection of fuzzy furs and feathers +that will delight the heart of any professional, and from which any +conceivable lure can be made to attract the denizens of the shady pools. + +{5} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of body materials.] + + +{6} + +BODY MATERIAL: Tinsel, Silk Floss, Fur, Chenille, Wool, Quill +and Cork are used for bodies. The most commonly used for Bucktail +Streamers is flat tinsel ribbed with oval tinsel or no ribbing at all. +About the easiest body to make is one of chenille ribbed with tinsel. +Silk floss is mostly used for wet and dry fly bodies. The domestic silk +floss, which is called rope, can be successfully used for the larger +flies, by untwisting and using a few of the smaller strands. An imported +floss of one single strand, with a very slight twist, is especially made +for fly-tying; this will work much better on the smaller hooks. Fur for +fur bodies, which formerly had to be plucked from the hide, dyed the +desired color, and spun on the waxed tying silk, can now be obtained in +all standard fly colors. It is called Spun Fur, and is very convenient +to use in this manner. + +QUILL BODIES: Quill makes an excellent and very lifelike body, +especially on dry flies. The quill from the eyed peacock tail feather is +mostly used. That taken from the eye of the feather when stripped of its +fibers has a two tone effect, and when wound upon the hook without +overlapping makes a very lifelike and delicate appearing body. + + +{7} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of feathers.] + + +{8} + +HERL BODIES: Both peacock and ostrich herl is used for bodies. +These make a fuzzy body. Tie in one or two strands by the tip end and +wind on edgewise. + +HACKLES: These are the most important part of the dry fly. Only those +from the neck of a mature cock are satisfactory. Hackles for the dry fly +must be stiff with very little or no web. With such hackles a dry fly +can be sparsely dressed as it should be and still maintain its natural +balance and floating qualities. On the other hand, a wet fly should +sink readily, and should be made with very soft webby hackles. These +absorb water quickly, and have better action in the water. Contrary to +the customary way to tie hackles on the wet fly, as explained in the +chapter "Wet Flies", I find it very convenient and economical to strip +the fibers from any size hackle, clip off the butt ends to the desired +length and tie them on the bottom of the hook, the same as buck tail is +tied on. As wet flies should have hackles only on the bottom or +underneath side, many hackles that are otherwise too large can be used +in this way. + +TAILS: A few fibers from a golden or silver pheasant neck tippet, whisks +from a hackle feather, a strip of wing or breast feather, a few hairs, +etc., are used for tails. Many of the standard patterns are tied without +tails; however, on all of my dry flies, I tie three or four stiff fibers +or hairs. They balance the fly and help it to float much better. + +{9} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of feathers.] + + +{10} + +CHEEKS OR SHOULDERS: As per Fig. 9, Diagram 1, these are used on a +great many of the fancy flies. These are straps of one or several +feathers of contrasting colors. Jungle cock feathers, golden pheasant +tippets, silver pheasant body feathers, as on the Grey Ghost streamer +fly, blue chatterer, and many other fancy feathers according to pattern +and fancy are used for this purpose. A pair of jungle cock tippets often +called eyes, added to a Bucktail Streamer will often take trout, when +the same pattern without the jungle cock will not. + +RIBBING: Tinsel, Wool, Silk, Horse Hair, Quill, etc., are used for +ribbing. The tinsel from your Xmas tree will do, but it is much better +to use tinsel made for the purpose, as it will not tarnish so +quickly and is much stronger. It is advisable before using tinsel to +place a drop of good, clear head lacquer between the thumb and finger +and draw the tinsel through it. This makes it tarnish-proof, and is +particularly advisable with the oval and round tinsel that is wound +over a silk core. Besides tarnish-proofing it, it will keep the tinsel +from coming apart. Tinsel bodies should be lacquered after they are +finished. + + +{11} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of feathers.] + + +WINGS: Several styles of wings are used, see Diagram 2, page xi, those +on Fig. 1, and are cut from a pair of matched wing quill feathers, like +Fig. 7. Those in Fig. 2 are buzz wings taken from a pair of breast +feathers {12} (mallard, wood duck, etc.) shown in Fig. 8. Fig. 3 shows +hackle tip wings, tips of two hackle feathers, see Fig. 9. Fan wings, +Fig. 4, are a matched pair of small breast feathers, see Fig. 10 (white +duck, mallard, teal, grouse, etc.). In fact there is hardly a bird that +flies that does not supply some of its plumage to the Fly-Tier. Flies +of the order Diptera (land flies), such as the Bee, Cowdung, Blue Bottle, +etc., should be tied with flat wings as in Fig. 5. A Bi-visible is shown +in Fig. 6. This is a fly without wings, hackle tied palmer (that is hackle +wound the full length of the hook, usually tied without a body, and the +dark patterns have a turn or two of white hackle in front). + +All of the flies on Diagram 2 are shown as dry flies; however, the same +feathers are used for wet flies, streamers, etc., the difference being +the style in which they are tied, which is explained elsewhere. + +WAX: Use a good grade of wax for fly-tying. The proper wax will work +much better than shoemaker's wax or beeswax. Wax for fly-tying should be +quite sticky so that when the waxed tying silk is let go of, it will not +unwind while tying the fly. + + +{13} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of feathers.] + + +TYING SILK: Ordinary sewing silk is too coarse for ordinary fly-tying +and it doesn't seem to have the strength. Size 00 is a good size for all +flies including bucktails and streamers. For dry flies and small wet +flies a gossamer silk size 000 and 0000 is the best to {14} use. +Although the strength of this fine silk is much less than the size 00, +it has the advantage that more turns can be used, and the heads can be +made much smaller. + +{15} + +BUCKTAIL STREAMERS + + +{16} + +[Illustration: Diagram 3. Page sized diagram showing drawings of bucktail +construction.] + + +Place a hook in the vise and start waxed tying silk (See Diagram 3, page +15) (A) 1/8" from eye of hook Fig. 1. Take five or six turns and cut off +end (B) Fig. 2. Wind tying silk (A) closely and smoothly down hook shank +as Fig 3. (A complete understanding of the next step will have a great +deal to do with the success of the beginner's greatest difficulty, that +is, putting on the wings; the procedure is the same for all flies, study +Fig. 4.) Hold tail material (C) between thumb and finger of the left +hand, slide the fingers down over the hook, so that the tail material +rests on top of the hook, with the hook held firmly between thumb and +finger as Fig. 4. Now loosen grip just enough to allow tying silk (A) to +pass up between thumb and tail material, form a loose loop over +material, and down, between finger and material on the other side. Now +tighten grip with thumb and finger and pull loop down tight; repeat once +more, see Fig. 5. (This knack of holding the material and hook firmly +together, until the loose loop is drawn down tightly keeps the tail, or +wings, on top of the {17} hook, and at the same time keeps them from +splitting or turning sidewise.) Now that the tail is in place, with two +turns of the tying silk (A) tie in ribbing (D) Fig. 6. Now take six or +eight close tight turns with the tying silk towards the eye of the hook, +with two more turns tie in the body material (E) Fig. 7. IF USING TINSEL +FOR BODY MATERIAL, BE SURE AND CUT THE END TO A TAPER BEFORE TYING IN as +(E) Fig. 7; this tends to make a smoother body and prevents a bunch +where the body material is tied in. Next wind tying silk (A) back to the +starting point, take a half hitch and let it hang. Now wind body +material (E) clockwise (all windings are clockwise) tightly and smoothly +back towards the barb, to the extreme rear end of the body, pull tight +and wind forward to within 1/8" of the eye, wind back and forth to form +smooth tapered body as Fig. 8 (tinsel bodies are not tapered). (If +using silk floss, untwist the floss and use only one half or one third +of the strands, do not let it twist, wind tight, and it will make a nice +smooth body.) Take two turns and a half hatch with the tying silk, and +cut off end of the material (F) Fig. 8. Take one tight turn with ribbing +(D) over butt of tail close to rear end of the body, also one turn +under the tail if tail is to be cocked. Wind ribbing spirally around the +body and tie off with two turns and a half hitch of tying silk as Fig. +9. + + +{18} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of bucktail streamers tied by the +author.] + + +{19} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of bucktails.] + + + +{20} + +Take about three dozen hairs of colored bucktail, cut off butt ends to +the length wanted for the finished fly, not more than one half again as +long as the hook, place these on top of the hook as Fig. 10 with butt +ends about 1/16" back of the eye (this is held the same as when putting +on the tail, Fig. 4). Pull down two or three loops, Fig. 11. Now take +about 175 hairs of other colored bucktail, place this on top of the +first colored bucktail the same as Fig. 10. Repeat the same operation +as Fig. 11. Before finishing the head put a drop of head lacquer on the +butt ends of the hairs to cement them in place, finish by making a +smooth tapered head with the tying silk, take three or four half +hitches, paint the head with two or three coats of lacquer and the job +is complete, unless you wish to add jungle cock cheeks, or other +combinations of feathers. This of course is done before the head is +completed. + + +{21} + +[Illustration: Diagram 4. Page sized diagram showing drawings of wet +flys.] + + +{22} + +WET FLIES + +Start the waxed tying silk (See Diagram 4, page 21) 1/8" from eye of +hook, Fig. 1. Wind tying silk (A) down shank of hook, and with last two +turns tie in tag material (B) Fig. 2. Tags (see diagram 1) usually +represent the egg sac on the female of the species. Chenille, wool, +gold, silver, silk, herl, or various other materials are used for tags. +(Ribbing, if used, is tied in just before the tag material.) Tie in tail +(C) Fig. 3 (see Fig. 4 Bucktail, Diagram 3, page 15, for directions, how +to hold the tail. Take from one to four turns with the Tag Material (B) +around the hook, take a couple of turns with tying silk (A) around the +loose end of (B) and cut off (B) as Fig. 4. Take about three or four +turns towards the eye of the hook with (A), with two more turns tie in +the body material (D) Fig. 4. Wind (A) back to the starting point, take +a half hitch and let hang. Wind body material (D) to where (A) was left +hanging. Wind (D) back and forth several times to form a tapered body, +fasten with two or three turns and a half hitch with (A) Fig. 5. Next +take hackle (E), and strip off soft web fibers on dotted line, Fig. E. +Hold hackle {23} (E) by the tip with thumb and finger of the left hand, +with the shiny side of the hackle to the right, place the butt +diagonally under the hook and take four or five tight turns and a half +hitch with (A) Fig. 6. Be sure that the hackle is tied on edgewise with +the shiny side to the front. Now grasp the tip of the hackle with the +hackle pliers and wind four or five turns clockwise around the hook. If +the hackle starts winding edgewise it will go on without any trouble, if +not better take it off and try again until you get the knack of tying +the butt in at just the right angle. Take three or four turns over the +hackle tip with (A) and clip off the tip close as Fig. 7. With the thumb +and finger of the left hand, reach from under the hook and pull all the +fibers down to the bottom, take three or four turns over them with (A) +towards the barb of the hook, to hold them in place, and to keep them +pointing well back, as Fig. 8. Next take a pair of matched (one right +and one left) turkey, goose, or other wing feathers, Fig. A, and cut a +section from each about 1/4" wide, place the two sections with tips even +and concave sides together as Fig. B. Cut off the butt ends to the right +length, that is so that the tips come even, or a little beyond the bend +of the hook. Place on top of hook as Fig. 9 and tie on the same as +previously explained in tying hair on Bucktails (Diagram 3, page 15, +Figs. 4 and 10). Finish off with a smooth tapered head, two or +three half hitches {24} and a couple of coats of good head lacquer, +Fig. 10. Many patterns are tied palmer, that is the hackle is wound the +whole length of the body. Many of the dry flies are tied this way, +especially the Bi-visibles. To tie a palmer hackle, prepare the hackle +by holding the tip of the hackle between the thumb and finger of the left +hand, and with the thumb and finger of the right hand, stroke the fibers +back so that they point towards the butt, instead of towards the tip, Fig. +C, Diagram 4. With the shiny side of the hackle up, strip off the fibers +from the bottom side as Fig. D. Now tie the hackle in by the tip as +Fig. 11. Make the body the same as before. Wind the hackle spirally around +the body and tie off the butt, Fig. 12. To make the hackle more full near +the head, one or more hackles are tied in at the same time as Figs. 6 +and 7, the palmer hackle is wound to within 1/8" of the eye and the butt +tied in and cut off the same as the tip was cut off Fig. 7. + + +{25} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of wet flies tied by the author.] + + +{26} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of feathers.] + + + +{27} + +DRY FLIES + +Start winding waxed tying silk (See Diagram 5, page 28) (A) about 1/8" +from the eye of the hook, take three or four turns towards the bend of +the hook and cut off end, Fig. 1, Diagram 5. Cut a section about 1/4" +wide from a right and one from a left wing feather, as Fig. A Diagram 4, +page 21 (duck wings are best for dry flies). Place convex sides together +(just the reverse of Fig. B, Diagram 4). Do not cut off the butt ends, +instead straddle the hook as Fig. 2, Diagram 5. Hold between the thumb +and finger of the left hand as already explained in Figs. 4 and 10, +Diagram 3, page 15. Tip the wings (B) forward so that they stand about +perpendicular to the shank, and pull down loop, Fig. 3, as explained in +Diagram 3, Fig. 4. Take one more turn with (A) around the wings (B) in +front as Fig. 4 and before loosening the grip with the left hand take +two turns around the hook close in back of the wings (B), Fig. 5. Next +pull the butt ends back tightly as Fig. 6, take two tight turns around +them with (A) and cut off on dotted line as Fig. 6. Cross (A) between +wings (B) to spread them, and wind tying silk (A) down shank of the hook +as Fig. 7. + + +{28} + +[Illustration: Diagram 5. Page sized diagram showing drawings of dry fly +construction.] + + +{29} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of Fan Wings, Dry Flies, and Nymphs +tied by the author.] + + +{30} + +From now on the body is made as previously explained, so for the sake of +variation we will tie a band in the centre, the same as a Royal +Coachman. Tie in tail (C) Fig. 8. Tie in two or three strands of peacock +herl (D) Fig. 9 with (A) and wind (A) four or five turns towards the eye +of the hook. Take three or four turns with herl (D). Tie in two strands +of silk floss (E) Fig. 10, take a few more turns with (A) over the loose +ends of (D) towards the eye of the hook. Wind silk floss (E) over the +herl about half way up the hook. Take a turn or two around silk floss +(E) with (A) and cut off end of (E) as Fig. 11. Carry (A) up to the +front of the wings. Finish body with herl (D) wound tight against the +back of the wings. (This helps to push the wings forward and to hold +them in place.) Tie off herl (D) with (A) Fig. 12. The next step of +putting on the hackle (F) is done the same as Fig. 6, Diagram 4, page +21. But here the hackle is much more important than on the wet fly. The +floating qualities of a dry fly depend entirely upon stiff neck hackle +of the proper size. (Use Hackle Chart.) Sometimes two hackles are used, +these are laid together, and both butts tied in at the same time. One +hackle of the proper size and stiffness is usually enough, so we will +use one tied in as Fig. 13 and explained in Fig. 6, Diagram 4, page +21. Clip the hackle pliers to the tip of hackle (F) and wind +about two turns edgewise in front of the wings, wind two turns close +{31} in back of the wings. Take two or three more turns in front of the +wings, all the while keeping the hackle edgewise, with the shiny side +towards the eye of the hook. Wind the hackle close so as not to fill up +the eye of the hook and to leave room for the head. Tie in the tip with +a couple of turns of (A) Fig. 14. The hackle should now be standing +straight out from the hook, with the most of it in front of the wings. +Shape a tapered head with (A). (Head should be about 1/16" long on a +size 12 hook.) Finish with two or three half hitches and a drop +of head lacquer, Fig. 15. + +Various feathers are used for wings of dry flies, such as breast +feathers from mallard, teal; partridge, grouse, black duck, wood duck. +Hackle tips, starling, duck, turkey, goose, pheasant, wing feathers, +etc. + +Two whole feathers of the proper size, with the natural curve are used +for fan wings. The tips of two feathers, or a section may be cut from +two matched feathers. All of these wings are tied on in the same manner +as previously explained. See Diagram 2 for flies tied with different +style wings. + +[Illustration: Drawing of hackle size chart at bottom of page.] + +{32} + +NYMPHS AND THEIR +CONSTRUCTION + +NYMPHS + +Nymphs are larvae of all aquatic insects. Together with minnows, +crawfish, etc., they represent about ninety per cent of the trout's +regular diet. Considering this fact, it is obvious that nymphs will take +trout throughout the entire season. It will greatly surprise the novice +to learn of the great amount of underwater insect life present in any +stream. Next time you go fishing, hold your landing net close to the +bottom, in a foot or so of fast water. Reach upstream and loosen the +stones and gravel. Raise your landing net, and notice the numerous +nymphs that have been washed from under the stones, and have attached +themselves to your net. Better still, make a screen about two feet +square, from regular 14 mesh window screening. Hold this in the water, +and have your fishing partner go upstream, and with a regular garden +rake, or some such tool, rake up the bottom, turning over the stones and +gravel. This way you can capture many nymphs. Put them in glass +bottles, take them home, and make copies of them. When next you {33} go +fishing open the first trout you catch, examine the contents of its +stomach, and determine which of the copies you have made is the proper +nymph or fly for the occasion. To fish with an imitation of the fly or +nymph upon which they are feeding, will result in a heavier creel. + +When nymph fishing it is important to use a long, finely tapered leader. +A 4x is about right. Fish in the same waters, and very much the same way +as with a dry fly except that the nymph is allowed to sink. Fish +upstream, or up and across the current. In the ripples. Around boulders. +At the edge of fast water. Let the nymph drift with the current. Follow +it with your rod tip, and be prepared to set the hook at the least +hesitation of the line. Trout will sometimes take a drifting nymph and +eject it, without being felt on the most delicate rod, so be ever on the +alert when nymph fishing. A nymph fished down stream, and retrieved with +slow, short jerks, will often work very well. When fished in this +manner, trout will strike quite hard, and usually hook themselves. + +There are times when trout are rolling on the surface and it seems +impossible to take them on anything. It is then that they are usually +feeding on nymphs, just under the surface. I remember one such time on +the Housatonic River in Connecticut last summer. Just at dark, I was +standing knee deep in very fast water. Trout {34} were breaking all +around me. I knew, they were feeding on nymphs, and tried in every way +to catch them. The water was so fast, it was impossible to keep the +nymph just the right depth below the surface. I tried every trick that +I knew, but could not get a strike. Finally reaching my hand in my +pocket, I discovered several large buckshot. Removing the nymph from the +tip of the leader, I attached five of these large shots, to the very tip +of the leader, with a piece of 3x gut tippet about four inches long. I +connected the nymph to the leader about sixteen inches from the tip. +Within the next few minutes I took several nice trout, within rod's +length of where I was standing. What actually happened, the lead was so +heavy that it immediately sank straight to the bottom, and my taut line +held the nymph suspended about two inches below the surface. The short +gut between the nymph and the leader allowed the nymph to quiver much as +the natural was doing. All the various common nymphs can be faithfully +copied, by learning to tie the various styles of those herein +illustrated. Simply alter the sizes, and color combinations, according +to those found in the waters where you fish. + +Remember nearly all the nymphs have flat bodies, and dark backs. The +bodies may be flattened by thoroughly lacquering them, and when nearly +dried squeezing them flat with an ordinary pair of pliers; or by {35} +cutting a piece of quill the shape of the body from a turkey or goose +wing. Bind this on top of the hook for the foundation of the body, and +build the body over this. When finished, lacquer the entire body. + +Most any body materials that are used for the making of other flies can +be used; however, wool is mostly used for nymphs. Silk floss wound over +a quill foundation and then lacquered, makes a very smooth, realistic +body. + + +{36} + +[Illustration: Diagram 6. Page sized diagram showing drawings of nymph +construction.] + + +THEIR CONSTRUCTION +(SEE DIAGRAM 6) + +Start tying silk (A) an eighth of an inch from the eye of the hook and +wind closely down shank, as previously done with bucktails, wet flies +etc. Next cut a section (B) from a grey goose wing feather about one +eighth inch wide, and tie on top of the hook as Fig. 1. This is to make +the tail and also the back of the nymph. Bend (B) back and take a turn +or two with (A) in front as Fig. 2. Tie in the ribbing (c) close to (B) +Fig. 3. Next tie in body material (D) close to (C) Fig. 4. Wool yarn +makes the best body material for this style nymph. Now finish the body +as for a wet fly, Fig. 5, then pull (B) tightly over the top, finish off +as Fig. 6. This makes a sort of hard shell over the back. Next turn the +hook upside down in the vise, and lay {37} three horse hairs across, just +in back of where the head is to be made, crisscross (A) between the hairs +to spread them and make them look like legs, and your nymph should look +like Fig. 7. Nymphs of this style as well as Figs. 8, 9, 10, 14 and 15 +look more natural if the bodies are flattened. Fig. 8 is tied nearly the +same as Fig. 7, the difference being that (C) and (D) are both wound +over (B) about two-thirds of the length of the body, then (B) is turned +back, the body finished as before, (B) brought forward loosely to form +the humpbacked wing case, and (B) being cut off as was done with Fig. 6, +and instead of the butt end of (B) being cut off as was done with Fig. +6 it is split by crisscrossing (A) through it to form small wings as +Fig. 8. Fig. 9 is made in the same way except that several strands of +peacock herl is used for the dark back, tail, and feelers. + +Fig. 10 is a very effective nymph, the body made entirely of natural +raffia (soaked in water before using), with black hair used for the tail +and feelers The body coated with lacquer as before mentioned and pressed +flat when dry; paint the back with dark brown or black lacquer. + +Fig. 11 is made by close wound palmer hackle cut off on dotted +lines. Fig. 12 is a fur body, made by spinning rabbit's fur or +other fur on waxed tying silk and ribbing with gold; the tougher +this nymph looks the more effective it seems to be. Fig. 13, the +Caddis {38} worm can be more naturally reproduced with a common rubber +band than any other way I know. Get a dirty, white, rubber band +about 1/8" wide, taper one end for about 1/2". Lay two horse hairs +lengthwise on top of the hook for the feelers, wind tying silk over them +down the hook, tie in the rubber band by the very tip of the taper, wind +the tying silk back to the starting point, and be sure that the tying +silk is wound smoothly. If not, any roughness will show through the +rubber band. Wind the rubber band tightly to about 1/4" back of the eye. +Wind back down and take one turn under the horsehair at the tail end, +wind up to the head and tie off with the tying silk. This now makes +three thicknesses of the rubber band. Form a large head with the tying +silk, fasten securely and you have a very realistic Caddis worm. Fig. 14 +is tied about the same as Fig. 7, with a considerable amount of speckled +mallard, and peacock herl used for both the front and back feelers as +well as the legs. + +Fig. 15. The Damsel Nymph has a body of dark grey wool with a back of +dark brown or black lacquer. Wings, small red-brown wood duck breast +feathers, feelers dark brown hackle, and a large black head. + +{39} + +THE HELGRAMITE +(SEE DIAGRAM 7) + +The Helgramite Nymph, larva of the Dobson Fly, is such an excellent bass +and trout food, that the making of this nymph deserves special mention. +As my personal way of making this particular nymph differs considerably +from those previously explained, I consider it advisable to go into +further details concerning the construction of this pattern. + +I personally like the winged style. That is, with small imitation wings +and horns, or feelers. This represents the nymph in its final underwater +stage, just before emerging from the water as the Dobson Fly. I find +black skunk tail the most satisfactory material for the body of this +nymph. Either light grey swan sides, or light grey pigeon breast +feathers for the wing and legs. + + +{40} + +[Illustration: Diagram 7. Page sized diagram showing drawings of +helgramite construction.] + + +First wind the waxed tying silk up the shank of the hook beginning +opposite the barb. Clip the fibers closely from a couple of hackle +feathers. These are to form the horns. Bind these hackle quills +to the top of the hook, so that the tip ends project about 1 1/2" +in front of the eye. Take a bunch of black skunk tail about the +size of a match and bind it to the top of the hook, with tip ends +towards the eye of the hook as in Diagram 7, Fig. 1. Next fold the hair +forward and bind down tightly as in Fig. 2. Again fold the hair back and +tie down as in {41} Fig. 3. Then again as in Fig. 4. Notice that each +time the hair is folded back upon itself and tied down, that it forms a +segment of the body, and that each segment increases in size, until your +nymph looks like Fig. 5. At this stage turn the nymph over and tie a piece +of light grey feather about 1/8" wide across the bottom, separate the +fibers with the tying silk to form the legs. Now cut a small light grey +pigeon feather with the centre quill, as dotted line in Fig. 6. Give this +a coat of clear lacquer: when dry, tie flat, on the back of the nymph to +form the first set of wings, as in Fig. 7. Cut another feather and treat +the same way, tie these slightly forward of the first set of wings, and +you have a Dobson Nymph that is very lifelike in appearance. + +{42} + +BASS FLIES +AND FEATHER STREAMERS + +It will appear obvious from a study of Diagram 8, page (43) that the +tying of bass flies and Feather Streamers differs so little from the +tying of wet flies and bucktails that a detailed description will be +unnecessary. + +Bass flies are little more than large trout lies, the +principal difference being the feathers that are used for the wings +although the same feathers can be used as for trout flies. It is +customary with commercial tiers to use two whole feathers for the wings, +or the tips of two wings feathers, etc. Place the concave sides together +and tie in the butt ends the same as for a wet fly. Bass flies to be +used as spinner flies, that is, flies to be used with a spinner in +front, should be tied on ring eyed hooks instead of hooks with turned +down or turned up eyes. + + +{43} + +[Illustration: Diagram 8. Page sized diagram showing drawings of bass +flies.] + + +{44} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of flies tied by the author.] + + +Certain patterns of these flies have for a long time been famous as +salmon flies in northern New England and Canada and the past few years +have seen them steadily growing in popularity with anglers of +Connecticut, especially for Rainbow Trout. The feathers {45} that are +used for wings are saddle hackles, and from four to eight feathers are +used, hackles of the same size are selected, the tip ends placed even, +and the concave sides of those used for the left side are placed next to +the concave sides of those used for the right side, in other words, both +the right and left side of the wing will be convex, or outside of the +feather. Any of the standard pattern flies can be tied as streamers. +Some of the patterns however, are very elaborate flies; the Supervisor, +for instance, has wings of light blue with shorter feathers of green on +each side, with peacock herl along each wing, polar bear hair, jungle +cock shoulders, a silver body, and a red tag. This fly was developed a +few years ago by Mr. Joseph Stickney, Supervisor of Wardens, State of +Maine, to imitate the smelt, a natural salmon food. The original Supervisor +did not have the jungle cock or the peacock heal. Mr. Stickney suggested +the addition of these feathers to me last year, and I believe that this +is now the approved dressing. + + +{46} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of feather streamers tied by +the author.] + + +{47} + +FAMOUS BUCKTAIL AND +FEATHER STREAMERS + +SUPERVISOR: WINGS, Blue saddle hackle with polar bear hair, and +peacock herl down each side.

These Bugs represents the large moth, +butterfly, etc., and are constructed of a large variety of materials. +Some have cork bodies. Some have Balsa Wood bodies. Others all hair +bodies. Bodies covered with chenille, and other materials. One of the +easiest to make and I believe one of the most successful styles, is +entirely constructed from the body hair of the deer, reindeer, or +caribou. All of these hairs are rather coarse and hollow consequently +are very buoyant, and when properly made into a copy of the living +insect, they have a soft, lifelike body that appears very natural when +taken by a fish. These soft bodied Bugs are not so apt to be ejected +before the Angler has time to set the hook, as are those with hard +bodies. + + +{50} + +[Illustration: Page sized diagram showing bass bugs tied by the author.] + + +Although the object of this book is to teach the Angler how to tie +his own flies a few words in regards to the writer's personal +experiences in using these Bugs might not be amiss at this time. +Floating Bugs are mostly tied on large size hooks and generally used for +{51} bass. However, I have had a great deal of luck and many pleasant +experiences with them tied as small as a #14 Model Perfect hook, and +used with a 4x Leader. The small sizes will take many large trout, and +are readily accepted by all pan fish. When fishing in still waiters with +the Floating Bugs, whether it be for bass, pickerel, trout or pan fish I +use a light leader, treated so that it will sink. I cast to a likely +looking spot, beside an old stump along lily pads, or to an opening in +the lily pads themselves. I let the Bug hit the water with quite a +splash, as a living moth of the same size would, and there I let +it lie, absolutely motionless, as though stunned by the blow. By all +means do not be impatient, let the Bug lie perfectly still for two or +three minutes, and then simply move the tip of your rod just enough to +cause the Bug to quiver on the surface. Again let it lie perfectly still +for a minute or two; usually about the second time the Bug is made to +quiver you can expect a strike, and when a big bass comes after one of +these Bugs, he comes full of action. When fishing fast water, I fish +them exactly as I would a dry fly, upstream or up and across the +current. My personal choice for color is the natural brownish grey body +hair from either the deer, reindeer, or caribou. Wings, tail and body +all the same natural color. I tie this pattern from size 2/0 Model +perfect hook down to size 14, and us {52} the larger sizes for bass +and pickerel, and the smaller sizes for trout and pan fish. I +remember one very pleasant experience that happened in northern +Maine three years ago. There is a small, deep, spring fed lake of +about ten acres in area, completely surrounded by wilderness; this +lake had been stocked with, Rainbow Trout and closed to all fishing +for five years. I was fortunate in being there about two months after +it had been opened to fishing and was invited to try my luck, after +first being advised that although some very nice catches were regularly +being taken on a Streamer Fly fished deep, also on live bait and worms +with a spinner, no one had even been able to take fish on the surface. +I arrived at this lake about one hour before dark, and it was one of +those evenings when the water was actually boiling with rising trout. +In fact never before or since have I seen so many fish breaking water +at the same time. I immediately made up my mind to take fish on the +surface. I began fishing with a small spider, and changed fly after fly +for the next half hour with the same results as had been experienced by +other dry fly fishermen. In desperation and with darkness fast approaching +I tied on a size 4 Grey Bug and cast about thirty feet from shore. The Bug +hit the water with quite a splash and didn't even as much as put down one +fish, and several continued to {53} rise from within a few inches to a few +feet from where the Bug landed. I waited a couple of minutes and gave the +Bug a little twitch, nothing happened, again I twitched and again nothing +happened. I began to believe I was stumped when again the Bug was moved +ever so slightly for the fifth time, and remember this was at least seven +minutes after it first hit the water. A fish struck. In a few minutes I +landed a 2 1/4 pound Rainbow. Before darkness had brought the day to a +close I had landed three more beautiful Rainbows averaging 2 pounds +each. I had never since had the opportunity to fish in this beautiful +little lake. Some day I hope to return, and again try, and I believe +succeed in taking these beautiful Rainbow Trout on the conventional +dry fly. However, this one little experience proved conclusively to +me the absolute necessity of patience in fishing Floating Bugs. + +FLOATING BUGS: +THEIR CONSTRUCTION +(SEE DIAGRAM 9) + +First let us begin by making the most simple; that is, one that has the +Body, Wings, and Tail, all of the same material and color. Follow the +illustrations carefully and even your first attempt will be a +masterpiece. + +{54} + +Although I use well waxed 00 tying silk, you will find that regular +sewing silk size A will work best on your first attempt. First wax your +thread thoroughly and take a few turns around the shank of the hook and +tie in a small bunch of hairs for the tail, as in Diagram 9, Fig. 1, +page (55). We will assume that we are using regular deer hair cut from +the hide. Next clip a small bunch of hairs, about the size of a match, +close to the hide. You will notice there is some fuzz mixed with the +hair at the base close to the skin, pick out the fuzz and place the +butts of the hairs under the hook as in Fig. 2, Take a couple of loose +turns with the tying silk, hold the tips of the hair with the thumb and +finger of the left hand, and pull the tying silk down tight. You will +notice that the hairs spin around the hook and the butt ends will stand +out pretty much at right angles to the hook, as in Fig. 3. Cut off the +tip end of the hairs on the dotted line, press the hairs back tightly, +apply a drop of water-proof lacquer to the base of the hairs and the +hook, and repeat the same process of tying on a small bunch of hair, +each time pressing it back tightly. Remember this is important, because +the hair must be as close together as possible to make a firm, smooth, +buoyant body. + + +{55} + +[Illustration: Diagram 9. Page sized diagram showing drawings of bass +bug construction.] + + +When you have built the body up until it looks something like +Fig. 4, remove it from the vise and with a sharp pair of scissors +trim and shape it until it looks {56} like Figs. 5 and 6. At this stage +you should have 3/16" of the shank of the hook left just behind the eye, +where you will tie on the wings. Cover this bare hook with the well waxed +tying silk, and lay a bunch of hair on top of the hook for wings as Fig. +7. Crisscross the tying silk around the wings and the hook until they +are securely tied together. Place several coats of lacquer over he +junction of the wings and hook, to more securely bind them in place. +Lacquer the entire wings if you wish and when they have partially dried, +press them flat, spread them, trim them as Fig. 8, and your Bug is +completed. + +Any combination of color may be used, different colored wings and tail, +different colored rings in the body. White body with red tail and wings +is a good pattern. Yellow body, black wings and tail another. Various +feather combinations can be used for wings and tall. Create your own +designs, and develop your patterns. + +CORK BODIED BASS BUGS +(SEE DIAGRAM 10) + +These high floaters are easy to make and may be tied on most any size +hook desired. Kinked shank hooks should be used to prevent the body +from turning on the {57} hook. Colored lacquer or enamel can be used to +decorate the bodies, and eyes can be either painted on, or regular small +glass eyes inserted and held in place with water-proof glue or lacquer. +Any of the fancy feathers that are used for regular bass flies can be +used for wings. Hair or feathers can be used for tails, etc. Let us +first make one of these cork bodied Bugs on a size 1/0 hook. Take a 1/2" +cork cylinder and with a razor blade shape it roughly as Diagram 10, +Figs. 1 and 2. Then with a piece of 00 sandpaper held in the right hand +and the cylinder in the left it is a very simple matter to give the body +a nice smooth, shapely finish. Next cut a small V out of the body as in +Fig. 3. This is easier to fit to the hook and easier to cement securely +than simply making a slit in the cork. Press the V slit over the hook as +in Fig. 4. Apply cement or lacquer liberally to the inside of the V +slot, and to the hook shank. Press the piece that was removed securely +back into place, bind tightly with string, as in Fig. 5, and let set +over night. Next day when the cement has thoroughly dried and the body +is permanently fastened to the hook, remove the string and with the +sandpaper touch up any rough places on the body, and give a coat of +lacquer or enamel of the desired color. + + +{58} + +[Illustration: Diagram 10. Page sized diagram showing drawings of cork +bodied bass bug construction.] + + +When the body enamel has dried, take a pair of feathers for wings (whole +feathers that have the quill in the centre, same as are used for regular +bass fly wings are best), and with the {59} tying silk bind these fast to +the top side of the shoulders as in Fig. 6. Tie on a tail close to the +body, paint on the eyes, paint any other color or designs you wish on +the body, and the Bug is completed. + +{60} + +[Illustration: Diagram 11. Page sized diagram showing drawings of angler's +knots.] + + +{61} + +ANGLER'S KNOTS + +Figs. 1, 2 and 3 in Diagram 11, page (60) show a very convenient way to +tie a dropper loop in the leader; roll the gut between thumb and finger +at (A) Fig. 1, next invert loop (B) through (C) Figs. 2 and 3. + +Figs. 4, 5, and 6 make the best knot for or a loop in the end of a +leader, gut snells etc. Pull loop (C) through loop (B) Figs. 5 and 6. + +Figs. 7, 8, and 9 are about the easiest and most secure knots for +making leaders, the ends are in the centre of the finished knot and +can be clipped close. + +Figs. 10, 11, and 12, the figure eight knot, is the best for tying flies +to the leader, it won't slip, and the pull is in line with the hook +shank. + +{62} + +MY FAVORITE FLIES + +Quite frequently I am asked which fly I like the best, or which +particular patterns I would choose should I carry only a few flies with +me on a trip. That is rather a difficult question to answer. The +season, the type of fishing and location must be taken into +consideration. + +There must be some reason for so many hundreds of patterns. I hardly +believe that any half dozen patterns can be used with constant success +throughout the season, even in one particular locality. There are times, +when fish are feeding, that they will take anything; again one may +change fly after fly without success, when finally a fly will be tried +that will take fish on every cast. Suppose that particular fly wasn't +included in the chosen few, the answer is obvious. + +However, I will endeavor to choose six patterns each of the various +styles, and to give my reasons for their choice, but here I assure you +there will always be many more patterns in my fly box for further trial, +after I have exhausted my favorite six. + +Beginning with dry flies, my first choice would be {63} a Quill Gordon, +on a size 16 hook. This fly closely represents the numerous duns that +are on or about the water, to some extent, during the entire season. I +have little faith in color in the dry fly, except light or dark shades. +I do believe that the size and shape have a great deal more to do with +the success of a dry fly than color. I have proven to my own +satisfaction that a Quill Gordon sparsely dressed as it should be, but +tied with a black hackle and yellow mallard wings, is just as successful +as the customary dressing. + +My second choice would be the Red Ant. Although this fly belongs to the +order Hymenoptera, it can be used when many of the Diptera order are on +the water, such as Cowdung, Blue bottle, Bee, etc. This family all have +flat wings and make an entirely different appearance than the +aforementioned Quill Gordon. I tie the Red Ant on a size 14 hook. I +build the body first of red silk floss, shape it like the body of an +ant, give it a couple of coats of clear lacquer and let it dry hard and +shiny. This body will reflect light, much as the natural insect. I then +tie on two hackle tips for wings. Have them about as long as the hook, +spread them so they are at about a 30 degree angle from the body +and very flat. I then use a brown saddle hackle with fibers about +3/4" long for legs. I put on only two or three turns of the hackle, +and then clip off all of the top and bottom hackles, leaving only +about six fibers sticking {64} straight out on each side. This fly will +float very close to the water, and because of its sparse dressing, +slightly heavy body because of the lacquer, it is not a good floater. It +also has the disadvantage of being hard to see. However, it is still my +second choice, and properly dressed, and fished with a very fine leader, +will take many nice fish. + +My third choice is the Fan Wing Royal Coachman. This fly was never +supposed to represent any particular family but I believe it is taken by +fish for the Lepidoptera, large-winged moths and butterflies. It seems +to be very successful when these are about in the evening. + +My fourth choice is the Furnace Spider. This fly I tie on a size 16 +short shank hook, by winding only about three turns of a furnace saddle +hackle, with fibers about three fourths of an inch long. Tied in this +manner, without any body or tail, the fly will alight on the water with +the hook down, and looked at from beneath, against the light, only the +little black spot will be noticeable. This I believe represents some of +the order Coleoptera (beetles) and also the small black gnat (Empidae). +I know if no other ways to tie the Black Gnat small enough to represent +the natural insect, and even on the very smallest hook, the artificial +is usually many times larger than the natural. The small black centre +of the furnace saddle hackle tied in this manner seems to represent +the size of the natural very {65} closely. This fly is a very good +floater and an excellent fly when trout are feeding on those small +insects. + +My fifth choice is the Grannon. This fly is of the order of Trihoptera, +and has different shaped wings than any of those previously mentioned, +the wings being quite full and roof shaped. It is on the water a good +part of the season, and can be used when other flies with this shape +wing are about, such as the alder fly, cinnamon fly, etc. + +My next and sixth choice of dry fly would be the Brown Palmer, made on a +size 12 long shank hook with a full body of peacock herl, and palmer +hackle, wound not too full. This I believe is taken by the trout for +many of the caterpillars. + +My personal choice of these six patterns should now appear quite +obvious, should it be necessary for me to limit myself to such a small +selection. I have selected one each of the six most prominent orders, +and should any one of the hundreds of families of these orders be in +prominence on the water, I would at least have the correct size or +color. + +My choice of the standard pattern wet flies, Feather Streamers, Bucktail +Streamers, and nymphs would be a little more difficult. I am a firm +believer that color plays a very important part in the dressing of wet +flies, as well as size and style. I offer my personal choice of these +styles because of the consistency with which they {66} have taken fish +for me during many years of fishing all parts of the country. + +I do not hesitate to say that I have taken more trout, of all kinds, on +a brown hackle with peacock herl body, than any of the other common wet +fly patterns. This is probably because I have used it more. I do believe +that in the north, and especially for brook trout, a fly with a little +red in it is more productive. Therefore, for northern fishing I would +select Royal Coachman, Parmachene Belle, and Montreal. Other favorite +flies that are good most anywhere in North America are Grizzly King, +Queen O'Waters; Cahill, and Grey Hackle. + +Feather Streamers and Hair Streamers are being more extensively used +each year. Many authorities are of firm conviction that these flies +unquestionably represent small minnows, upon which the fish are in the +habit of feeding. This may be true, but I have seen many rubber, metal +and composition minnows, that were exact replicas of the naturals, both +as to color and size, and they would not take fish as would the Feather +or Hair Streamers, fished in the same waters at the same time. + +Most of my experience with Feather Streamers and also Hair Streamers +has been for Landlocked Salmon and Rainbow Trout, in big waters. +So I will list these according to the way they have produced for +me. The {67} Black Ghost on a #4 long shank hook has been my most +successful Feather Streamer. Probably because its white streamers are +easily seen by the fish. It will most always raise fish, even if not +the proper fly to make them strike. The Grey Ghost is another, and +one of the most popular streamers in the North for Landlocked Salmon. +This fly, as well as the Supervisor, Spencer Bay Special and numerous +other flies of this style, were originally designed by their creators +to represent the smelt, a favorite food of the salmon. These flies +vary so in their color combinations that I wonder what the fish do +take them for. However, I do know that a Grey Ghost will work when +a Supervisor will not, and vice versa. One is grey and the other +is blue. When fishing in lakes with a Feather Streamer for trout I have +consistently had most luck with a creation of my own, Gregg's Demon. +This fly was never tied to represent anything, but I have taken many +nice fish on it, and have seen little fellows hardly as long as the fly +itself chase it, and try their best to bite it in two. There is just +something about it that has "fish appeal." + +A Brown Bucktail with a silver body on a #6 3x long shank hook rates +number one in Bucktail streamers. Another excellent fly that has been a +favorite for years, is a Yellow and Red Bucktail, with a silver body, +the red only a narrow streak through the centre. This fly has recently +been named "Mickey Finn." A red and {68} white, with silver or gold body +is a real good pattern where there are brook trout, and tied on a large +hook is very good for bass. + +I use one with all white bucktail and silver body, the same as I do a +Black Ghost, for locating fish. I find they will most always show their +presence, one way or another when a white fly is cast near them. + +An all yellow with black streak in the centre same as the "Mickey Finn" +is another very good combination. This is an excellent pickerel and bass +fly. In fact, most any of these Feather Streamers and Bucktail Streamers +tied on larger hooks, and used with or without a spinner, are excellent +lures for both bass and pickerel. + +Nymphs: I have explained elsewhere my liking these lures, and can say +little more except that I always carry the following color combinations +in various sizes. All tied according to styles illustrated in the +diagrams. Cream Belly with Dark Back; Yellow Belly with Black Ribs and +Dark Back; Green Belly with Dark Back; Grey Belly and Gold Ribs with +Dark Back; Brown Belly and Gold Ribs with Black Back; Orange Belly and +Black Ribs with Dark Back. + +{69} + +STANDARD DRESSINGS OF 334 FLIES +ALPHABETICALLY ARRANGED + +[Transcriber's Note: Some of the names are not in strict +alphabetical order.] + +[Transcriber's Note: The dressing of each fly is described in the +following order: + + NAME + TAG + TAIL + RIBS + BODY + HACKLE + WINGS] + + Abbey + None + Orange & black + Gold + Red Floss + Brown + Grey Mottled (mallard) + + Adams + Gold + Golden tippet + None + Grey Wool + Brown and grizzly + Grey Mottled (mallard) + + Alexandra + None + Peacock herl + None + Silver + Black + Peacock sward and jungle cock + + Alder + None + None + None + Peacock herl + Black + Dark speckled Turkey or Grouse + + Apple Green + None + Brown + None + Green Silk + Brown + Dark Grey + + Ash Dun + None + Grey + None + Silver Grey + Grey + Lt.

The +principles used herein, and the methods of construction employed, +are those used by the professional fly-tier who practices +fly-making for the sake of art, and tries to achieve with each +finished fly, a masterpiece. +</p> + +<p> +None of the short-cuts employed by those whose business is +quantity production will be attempted. Only the making of flies of +the very highest quality and most durable construction will be +attempted. In describing the principals of construction with the +following illustrations, it will be impossible to describe in +detail each standard pattern; however, it must be remembered that +the fundamentals applying to each style of fly will be the +principal bases of construction of all flies of that style, and +that the use of different body materials, hackles, wings or size +will simply change the pattern and not the fundamental points of +construction. +</p> + +<p> +Dressings for hundreds of standard patterns will be found fully +described elsewhere in this book. For clearness {viii} of +understanding please note that where a fly is described in this +book as having grey wings, or red body, etc., and no particular +feather or material is specified, it means that any feather or body +material may be used. When a particular feather, body, hackle, +tail, etc., must be used it will be so stated. +</p> + +<p> +Each year a steadily increasing number of anglers are learning +to tie their own flies. Not many years ago, there were few in +America outside of professional tiers who understood the art. Now +on each angling trip, at least one is sure to be met, who has +discovered the great thrill of taking fish on flies of his own +tying. +</p> + +<p> +To those who are anticipating the making of their own flies for +the first time, there is the opportunity to exercise one's +ingenuity in the creation of new patterns. To prolong your fishing +seasons throughout the long winter evenings, in the confines of +your own den, where, with a supply of fur, feathers and tinsel, can +be enjoyed a profitable, artistic and pleasant hobby. And the +thrill of seeing in each finished imitation of Ephemeridae, +Muscidae and Formicidae, a masterpiece to bring the joy of living +and dreams of spring to the angler's heart. +</p> + +<p> +Beginners are requested to reject any inclination to skip over +the first part of this book, nor to attempt the tying of the more +delicate and difficult dry flies before they have had sufficient +preliminary training. {ix} This book is so written that the easier +flies to make are the first encountered. Although you may not +expect to use Bucktail Streamers, the fundamental principles +employed in their construction, the knack of handling fur, feathers +and tinsel, will be acquired, and a sense of proportion will be +realized. I sincerely encourage you to begin at the beginning, and +by careful and patient study the satisfactory result will be the +ability to make flies that are second to none. +</p> + +<p> +The illustrations in this book are all drawn to correct +proportions except the tying silk, which is purposely drawn large +for clearness of illustration. Follow these illustrations, and +begin by making a very careful study of Diagram 3, "Bucktails" +(page 15). Here will be learned how to overcome some of the +difficulties encountered by beginners. Many of the fundamentals +learned in tying Bucktails are used in tying all of the flies to +follow. For instance, in putting the wings or tail on a wet fly, +the same method of holding the wing between the thumb and finger +and making the loose loop, are explained as when putting the hair +or tail on a Bucktail. Putting the wings on a fly correctly seems +to be the greatest difficulty encountered by the beginner. +Consequently, the necessity of carefully studying Figs. 4, 5, 10, +and 11 of Diagram 3 cannot be too greatly emphasized. Before tying +any other part of the fly, place a bare hook in the vise, and +practice tying on the tail, {x} and then the wings, until you have +mastered this knack, and have the wings and tail setting straight +on top of the hook, as in Figs. 4, 5, 10 and 11 of Diagram 3. First +using hair and then a section of feather. +</p> + +<p> +Other faults of the beginner where literal descriptions are +followed entirely or where illustrations are not drawn to correct +proportions or followed closely are as follows. The wings are +usually too large, and much too long for the size of the hook, and +the tail is most always too long, as are the hackles. The bodies +seldom have a nicely tapered shape, and most always start too far +back on the hook shank. The ribbing is seldom put on in even tight +spirals. The hair on hair flies is always too long, and too much is +used. The head is too large, because the tying silk is not wound +tightly and smoothly. The eye of the hook on the finished fly is +filled with hair, tying silk, hackles and cement. +</p> + +<p> +I do not mean to criticize these common mistakes of the +beginner. Instead, I merely wish to call them to your mind, and +assure you that they are not necessary, and will not happen if you +will diligently follow instructions in this book.</p> +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{xi} +</p> + +<h4 align="center"> +Diagram2 +</h4> + +<center><img src="images/diagram2.jpg" width="900" height="1119" +alt="Diagram 2.

Those that are +necessary are inexpensive, and most of them can be homemade. +However, as with any other craft good tools are an asset. I advise +the beginner to procure the following: +</p> + +<h3 align="center">TOOLS +</h3> + +<p> +<i>Fly-Tiers' vise.</i> There are many styles of fly-tying vises +on the market. The simplest is just a slot cut in a 3/8" piece of +square steel with a hacksaw, and a thumb screw to tighten the slot. +This type of vise will work all right, although rather clumsy and +hard to tighten enough to hold the hook truly. Another simple vise +is just a small pin chuck, soldered to one end of a 1/4" brass rod, +bent at the desired angle, and the other end of the rod soldered to +a small C clamp. However, I prefer a vise of the cam lever type. +That is, a vise that has a cam lever for opening and closing the +jaws. These vises, of which there are several makes, are {2} +adjustable to various angles and hook sizes. They will hold all +sizes of hooks very firmly, and are easily and quickly opened with +a flip of the lever. +</p> + +<p> +<i>Hackle Pliers.</i> These can be purchased for about fifty +cents and will prove a worthwhile investment, as they are rather +difficult to make satisfactorily. +</p> + +<p> +<i>Scissors.</i> One pair with curved blades and sharp points +for small flies and one pair with small straight blades. A needle +pushed into a stick, for picking out hackles that are wound under, +and for putting lacquer on the finished head, completes the list of +necessary tools. +</p> + +<h3 align="center">HOOKS +</h3> + +<p> +Hooks used for fly-tying differ somewhat from those used for +bait fishing etc., inasmuch as they are usually hollow ground, and +tapered shank especially those used for dry flies. The tapered +shank next to the eye allows the head of the fly to be tied +smaller, and also reduces the weight of the hook, an advantage for +dry flies. Of course flies may be tied on any style or grade of +hook, but considering the work involved in making the fly, and +realizing that with an old razor blade the fly can be quickly +removed from the hook should the first attempts prove +unsatisfactory, you will see the advantage in using good hooks. +</p> + +<br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{3} +</p> + +<h4 align="center">Various styles of hooks used for +fly-tying--actual size +</h4> + +<center><img src="images/hooks.jpg" width="450" height="571" alt= +"Page sized Diagram showing drawings of hooks."> +</center> + +<br><br><br> + +<h3 align="center"> +MATERIALS +</h3> + +<a name="materials" id="materials"> +</a> + +<p align="left"> +{4} +</p> + +<p> +Materials used by the Fly-Tier cover an extremely large field. +Although only a few simple and easily obtained items are necessary +for a start, it is interesting to know that furs, feathers and body +materials come from all parts of the world. There's the jungle cock +from India whose neck feathers are extensively used on salmon flies +and a very large percentage of all fancy flies. The golden pheasant +from China, the bustard from Africa, the Mandarin wood duck from +China, the capercailzie from Ireland, the game cocks from Spain and +the Orient, the teal, mallard, grouse, ibis, swan, turkey, and +hundreds of others. The polar bear, Impala, North and South +American deer, seal, black bear, skunk, rabbit, squirrel, are a few +of the hairs that are used. The beginner need not worry about the +great variety. Some hooks, silk floss and spun fur or wool yarn and +chenille for bodies, a few sizes of tinsel for ribbing, bucktails +of three or four colors, an assortment of duck and turkey wing +quills some mallard breast, an assortment of neck and saddle +hackles, a spool of tying silk, a piece of wax, a bottle of head +lacquer, and many of the popular patterns can be made. Numerous +other items can be added from time to time, and the novice Fly-Tier +will soon find himself in possession of a collection of fuzzy furs +and feathers that will delight the heart of any professional, +and from which any conceivable lure can be made to attract the +denizens of the shady pools. +</p> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{5} +</p> + +<h4 align="center"> +Body materials two-thirds actual size +</h4> + +<center><img src="images/p5.jpg" width="288" height="417" alt= +"Page sized photograph of body materials."> +</center> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{6} +</p> + +<p> +BODY MATERIAL: Tinsel, Silk Floss, Fur, Chenille, Wool, Quill +and Cork are used for bodies. The most commonly used for Bucktail +Streamers is flat tinsel ribbed with oval tinsel or no ribbing at +all. About the easiest body to make is one of chenille ribbed with +tinsel. Silk floss is mostly used for wet and dry fly bodies. The +domestic silk floss, which is called rope, can be successfully used +for the larger flies, by untwisting and using a few of the smaller +strands. An imported floss of one single strand, with a very slight +twist, is especially made for fly-tying; this will work much better +on the smaller hooks. Fur for fur bodies, which formerly had to be +plucked from the hide, dyed the desired color, and spun on the +waxed tying silk, can now be obtained in all standard fly colors. +It is called Spun Fur, and is very convenient to use in this +manner. +</p> + +<p> +QUILL BODIES: Quill makes an excellent and very lifelike body, +especially on dry flies. The quill from the eyed peacock tail +feather is mostly used. That taken from the eye of the feather when +stripped of its fibers has a two tone effect, and when wound upon +the hook without overlapping makes a very lifelike and delicate +appearing body. +</p> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{7} +</p> + +<h4 align="center"> +Actual size +</h4> + +<center><img src="images/p7.jpg" width="288" height="416" alt= +"Page sized photograph of feathers."> +</center> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{8} +</p> + +<p> +HERL BODIES: Both peacock and ostrich herl is used for bodies. +These make a fuzzy body. Tie in one or two strands by the tip end +and wind on edgewise. +</p> + +<p> +HACKLES: These are the most important part of the dry fly. Only +those from the neck of a mature cock are satisfactory. Hackles for +the dry fly must be stiff with very little or no web. With such +hackles a dry fly can be sparsely dressed as it should be and still +maintain its natural balance and floating qualities. On the other +hand, a wet fly should sink readily, and should be made with very +soft webby hackles. These absorb water quickly, and have better +action in the water. Contrary to the customary way to tie hackles +on the wet fly, as explained in the chapter "Wet Flies", I find it +very convenient and economical to strip the fibers from any size +hackle, clip off the butt ends to the desired length and tie them +on the bottom of the hook, the same as buck tail is tied on. As wet +flies should have hackles only on the bottom or underneath side, +many hackles that are otherwise too large can be used in this +way. + +</p> + +<p> +TAILS: A few fibers from a golden or silver pheasant neck +tippet, whisks from a hackle feather, a strip of wing or breast +feather, a few hairs, etc., are used for tails. Many of the +standard patterns are tied without tails; however, on all of my dry +flies, I tie three or four stiff fibers or hairs. They balance the +fly and help it to float much better. +</p> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{9} +</p> + +<h4 align="center"> +Two-thirds actual size +</h4> + +<center><img src="images/p9.jpg" width="288" height="418" alt= +"Page sized photograph of feathers."> +</center> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{10} +</p> + +<p> +CHEEKS OR SHOULDERS: As per Fig. 9, Diagram 1, these are used on +a great many of the fancy flies. These are straps of one or several +feathers of contrasting colors. Jungle cock feathers, golden +pheasant tippets, silver pheasant body feathers, as on the Grey +Ghost streamer fly, blue chatterer, and many other fancy feathers +according to pattern and fancy are used for this purpose. A pair of +jungle cock tippets often called eyes, added to a Bucktail Streamer +will often take trout, when the same pattern without the jungle +cock will not. +</p> + +<p> +RIBBING: Tinsel, Wool, Silk, Horse Hair, Quill, etc., are used +for ribbing. The tinsel from your Xmas tree will do, but it is much +better to use tinsel made for the purpose, as it will not tarnish +so quickly and is much stronger. It is advisable before using +tinsel to place a drop of good, clear head lacquer between the +thumb and finger and draw the tinsel through it. This makes it +tarnish-proof, and is particularly advisable with the oval and +round tinsel that is wound over a silk core. Besides +tarnish-proofing it, it will keep the tinsel from coming apart. +Tinsel bodies should be lacquered after they are finished. +</p> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{11} +</p> + +<h4 align="center"> +Two-thirds actual size +</h4> + +<center><img src="images/p11.jpg" width="288" height="422" alt= +"Page sized photograph of feathers."> +</center> + +<br><br><br> + +<p> +WINGS: Several styles of wings are used, see Diagram 2, page xi, +those on Fig. 1, and are cut from a pair of matched wing quill +feathers, like Fig. 7. Those in Fig. 2 are buzz wings taken from a +pair of breast feathers {12} (mallard, wood duck, etc.) shown in +Fig. 8. Fig. 3 shows hackle tip wings, tips of two hackle feathers, +see Fig. 9. Fan wings, Fig. 4, are a matched pair of small breast +feathers, see Fig. 10 (white duck, mallard, teal, grouse, etc.). In +fact there is hardly a bird that flies that does not supply some of +its plumage to the Fly-Tier. Flies of the order Diptera (land +flies), such as the Bee, Cowdung, Blue Bottle, etc., should be tied +with flat wings as in Fig. 5. A Bi-visible is shown in Fig. 6. This +is a fly without wings, hackle tied palmer (that is hackle wound +the full length of the hook, usually tied without a body, and the +dark patterns have a turn or two of white hackle in front).</p> +<p>All of the flies on Diagram 2 are shown as dry flies; however, +the same feathers are used for wet flies, streamers, etc., the +difference being the style in which they are tied, which is +explained elsewhere. +</p> + +<p> +WAX: Use a good grade of wax for fly-tying. The proper wax will +work much better than shoemaker's wax or beeswax.

Together with minnows, +crawfish, etc., they represent about ninety per cent of the trout's +regular diet. Considering this fact, it is obvious that nymphs will +take trout throughout the entire season. It will greatly surprise +the novice to learn of the great amount of underwater insect life +present in any stream. Next time you go fishing, hold your landing +net close to the bottom, in a foot or so of fast water. Reach +upstream and loosen the stones and gravel. Raise your landing net, +and notice the numerous nymphs that have been washed from under the +stones, and have attached themselves to your net. Better still, +make a screen about two feet square, from regular 14 mesh window +screening. Hold this in the water, and have your fishing partner go +upstream, and with a regular garden rake, or some such tool, rake +up the bottom, turning over the stones and gravel. This way you can +capture many nymphs. Put them in glass bottles, take them home, and +make copies of them. When next you {33} go fishing open the first +trout you catch, examine the contents of its stomach, and determine +which of the copies you have made is the proper nymph or fly for +the occasion. To fish with an imitation of the fly or nymph upon +which they are feeding, will result in a heavier creel.</p> +<p>When nymph fishing it is important to use a long, finely tapered +leader. A 4x is about right. Fish in the same waters, and very much +the same way as with a dry fly except that the nymph is allowed to +sink. Fish upstream, or up and across the current. In the ripples. +Around boulders. At the edge of fast water. Let the nymph drift +with the current. Follow it with your rod tip, and be prepared to +set the hook at the least hesitation of the line. Trout will +sometimes take a drifting nymph and eject it, without being felt on +the most delicate rod, so be ever on the alert when nymph fishing. +A nymph fished down stream, and retrieved with slow, short jerks, +will often work very well. When fished in this manner, trout will +strike quite hard, and usually hook themselves.</p> +<p>There are times when trout are rolling on the surface and it +seems impossible to take them on anything. It is then that they are +usually feeding on nymphs, just under the surface. I remember one +such time on the Housatonic River in Connecticut last summer. Just +at dark, I was standing knee deep in very fast water. Trout {34} +were breaking all around me. I knew, they were feeding on nymphs, +and tried in every way to catch them. The water was so fast, it was +impossible to keep the nymph just the right depth below the +surface. I tried every trick that I knew, but could not get a +strike. Finally reaching my hand in my pocket, I discovered several +large buckshot. Removing the nymph from the tip of the leader, I +attached five of these large shots, to the very tip of the leader, +with a piece of 3x gut tippet about four inches long. I connected +the nymph to the leader about sixteen inches from the tip. Within +the next few minutes I took several nice trout, within rod's length +of where I was standing. What actually happened, the lead was so +heavy that it immediately sank straight to the bottom, and my taut +line held the nymph suspended about two inches below the surface. +The short gut between the nymph and the leader allowed the nymph to +quiver much as the natural was doing. All the various common nymphs +can be faithfully copied, by learning to tie the various styles of +those herein illustrated. Simply alter the sizes, and color +combinations, according to those found in the waters where you +fish. +</p> + +<p> +Remember nearly all the nymphs have flat bodies, and dark backs. +The bodies may be flattened by thoroughly lacquering them, and when +nearly dried squeezing them flat with an ordinary pair of pliers; +or by {35} cutting a piece of quill the shape of the body from a +turkey or goose wing. Bind this on top of the hook for the +foundation of the body, and build the body over this. When +finished, lacquer the entire body.</p> +<p>Most any body materials that are used for the making of other +flies can be used; however, wool is mostly used for nymphs. Silk +floss wound over a quill foundation and then lacquered, makes a +very smooth, realistic body. +</p> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{36} +</p> + +<h4 align="center"> +Diagram 6 +</h4> + +<center><img src="images/diagram6.jpg" alt= +"Page sized diagram showing drawings of nymph construction." width= +"900" height="1083"> +</center> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{37} +</p> + +<h3 align="center"> +THEIR CONSTRUCTION (SEE DIAGRAM 6) +</h3> + +<p> +Start tying silk (A) an eighth of an inch from the eye of the +hook and wind closely down shank, as previously done with +bucktails, wet flies etc. Next cut a section (B) from a grey goose +wing feather about one eighth inch wide, and tie on top of the hook +as Fig. 1.

Next turn the +hook upside down in the vise, and lay three horse hairs across, +just in back of where the head is to be made, crisscross (A) +between the hairs to spread them and make them look like legs, and +your nymph should look like Fig. 7.

Wind back down and take one +turn under the horsehair at the tail end, wind up to the head and +tie off with the tying silk. This now makes three thicknesses of +the rubber band. Form a large head with the tying silk, fasten +securely and you have a very realistic Caddis worm.

As my personal way of making this +particular nymph differs considerably from those previously +explained, I consider it advisable to go into further details +concerning the construction of this pattern. +</p> + +<p> +I personally like the winged style. That is, with small +imitation wings and horns, or feelers. This represents the nymph in +its final underwater stage, just before emerging from the water as +the Dobson Fly. I find black skunk tail the most satisfactory +material for the body of this nymph.

Clip the fibers closely from a couple +of hackle feathers. These are to form the horns. Bind these hackle +quills to the top of the hook, so that the tip ends project about 1 +1/2" in front of the eye. Take a bunch of black skunk tail about +the size of a match and bind it to the top of the hook, with tip +ends towards the eye of the hook as in Diagram 7, Fig. 1. Next fold +the hair forward and bind down tightly as in Fig. 2. Again fold the +hair back and tie down as in Fig. 3. Then again as in Fig. 4. +Notice that each time the hair is folded back upon itself and tied +down, that it forms a segment of the body, and that each segment +increases in size, until your nymph looks like Fig. 5. At this +stage turn the nymph over and tie a piece of light grey feather +about 1/8" wide across the bottom, separate the fibers with the +tying silk to form the legs. Now cut a small light grey pigeon +feather with the centre quill, as dotted line in Fig. 6. Give this +a coat of clear lacquer: when dry, tie flat, on the back of the +nymph to form the first set of wings, as in Fig. 7.

It is customary +with commercial tiers to use two whole feathers for the wings, or +the tips of two wings feathers, etc. Place the concave sides +together and tie in the butt ends the same as for a wet fly. Bass +flies to be used as spinner flies, that is, flies to be used with a +spinner in front, should be tied on ring eyed hooks instead of +hooks with turned down or turned up eyes. +</p> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{43} +</p> + +<h4 align="center"> +Diagram 8 +</h4> + +<center><img src="images/diagram8.jpg" width="900" height="1024" +alt="Page sized diagram showing drawings of bass flies."> +</center> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{44} +</p> + +<h4 align="center"> +Page sized photograph of flies tied by the author (actual size)</h4> +<center><img src="images/p44.jpg" width="288" height="421" alt= +"Page sized photograph of flies tied by the author."> +</center> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{45} +</p> + +<p> +Certain patterns of these flies have for a long time been famous +as salmon flies in northern New England and Canada and the past few +years have seen them steadily growing in popularity with anglers of +Connecticut, especially for Rainbow Trout. The feathers that are +used for wings are saddle hackles, and from four to eight feathers +are used, hackles of the same size are selected, the tip ends +placed even, and the concave sides of those used for the left side +are placed next to the concave sides of those used for the right +side, in other words, both the right and left side of the wing will +be convex, or outside of the feather. Any of the standard pattern +flies can be tied as streamers. Some of the patterns however, are +very elaborate flies; the Supervisor, for instance, has wings of +light blue with shorter feathers of green on each side, with +peacock herl along each wing, polar bear hair, jungle cock +shoulders, a silver body, and a red tag. This fly was developed a +few years ago by Mr. Joseph Stickney, Supervisor of Wardens, State +of Maine, to imitate the smelt, a natural salmon food. The riginal +Supervisor did not have the jungle cock or the peacock heal.

These Bugs represents the large +moth, butterfly, etc., and are constructed of a large variety of +materials. Some have cork bodies. Some have Balsa Wood bodies. +Others all hair bodies. Bodies covered with chenille, and other +materials. One of the easiest to make and I believe one of the most +successful styles, is entirely constructed from the body hair of +the deer, reindeer, or caribou. All of these hairs are rather +coarse and hollow consequently are very buoyant, and when properly +made into a copy of the living insect, they have a soft, lifelike +body that appears very natural when taken by a fish. These soft +bodied Bugs are not so apt to be ejected before the Angler has time +to set the hook, as are those with hard bodies. +</p> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{50} +</p> + +<h4 align="center">Bass Bugs tied by the author (actual size)</h4> +<center><img src="images/p51.jpg" width="288" height="444" alt= +"Page sized diagram showing Bass Bugs tied by the author."> +</center> + +<br><br><br> + +<p> +Although the object of this book is to teach the Angler how to +tie his own flies a few words in regards to the writer's personal +experiences in using these Bugs might not be amiss at this time. +Floating Bugs are mostly tied on large size hooks and generally +used for {51} bass. However, I have had a great deal of luck and +many pleasant experiences with them tied as small as a #14 Model +Perfect hook, and used with a 4x Leader. The small sizes will take +many large trout, and are readily accepted by all pan fish. When +fishing in still waiters with the Floating Bugs, whether it be for +bass, pickerel, trout or pan fish I use a light leader, treated so +that it will sink. I cast to a likely looking spot, beside an old +stump along lily pads, or to an opening in the lily pads +themselves. I let the Bug hit the water with quite a splash, as a +living moth of the same size would, and there I let it lie, +absolutely motionless, as though stunned by the blow. By all means +do not be impatient, let the Bug lie perfectly still for two or +three minutes, and then simply move the tip of your rod just enough +to cause the Bug to quiver on the surface. Again let it lie +perfectly still for a minute or two; usually about the second time +the Bug is made to quiver you can expect a strike, and when a big +bass comes after one of these Bugs, he comes full of action. When +fishing fast water, I fish them exactly as I would a dry fly, +upstream or up and across the current. My personal choice for color +is the natural brownish grey body hair from either the deer, +reindeer, or caribou. Wings, tail and body all the same natural +color. I tie this pattern from size 2/0 Model perfect hook down to +size 14, and us {52} the larger sizes for bass and pickerel, and +the smaller sizes for trout and pan fish. I remember one very +pleasant experience that happened in northern Maine three years +ago. There is a small, deep, spring fed lake of about ten acres in +area, completely surrounded by wilderness; this lake had been +stocked with, Rainbow Trout and closed to all fishing for five +years. I was fortunate in being there about two months after it had +been opened to fishing and was invited to try my luck, after first +being advised that although some very nice catches were regularly +being taken on a Streamer Fly fished deep, also on live bait and +worms with a spinner, no one had even been able to take fish on the +surface. I arrived at this lake about one hour before dark, and it +was one of those evenings when the water was actually boiling with +rising trout. In fact never before or since have I seen so many +fish breaking water at the same time. I immediately made up my mind +to take fish on the surface. I began fishing with a small spider, +and changed fly after fly for the next half hour with the same +results as had been experienced by other dry fly fishermen. In +desperation and with darkness fast approaching I tied on a size 4 +Grey Bug and cast about thirty feet from shore. The Bug hit the +water with quite a splash and didn't even as much as put down one +fish, and several continued to {53} rise from within a few inches +to a few feet from where the Bug landed. I waited a couple of +minutes and gave the Bug a little twitch, nothing happened, again I +twitched and again nothing happened. I began to believe I was +stumped when again the Bug was moved ever so slightly for the fifth +time, and remember this was at least seven minutes after it first +hit the water. A fish struck. In a few minutes I landed a 2 1/4 +pound Rainbow. Before darkness had brought the day to a close I had +landed three more beautiful Rainbows averaging 2 pounds each. I had +never since had the opportunity to fish in this beautiful little +lake. Some day I hope to return, and again try, and I believe +succeed in taking these beautiful Rainbow Trout on the conventional +dry fly. However, this one little experience proved conclusively to +me the absolute necessity of patience in fishing Floating Bugs. +</p> + +<br><br> + +<h3 align="center"> +FLOATING BUGS: THEIR CONSTRUCTION (SEE DIAGRAM 9) +</h3> + +<p> +First let us begin by making the most simple; that is, one that +has the Body, Wings, and Tail, all of the same material and color. +Follow the illustrations carefully and even your first attempt will +be a masterpiece. +</p> + +<p align="left"> +{54} +</p> + +<p> +Although I use well waxed 00 tying silk, you will find that +regular sewing silk size A will work best on your first attempt. +First wax your thread thoroughly and take a few turns around the +shank of the hook and tie in a small bunch of hairs for the tail, +as in Diagram 9, Fig. 1, page (55). We will assume that we are using +regular deer hair cut from the hide. Next clip a small bunch of +hairs, about the size of a match, close to the hide. You will +notice there is some fuzz mixed with the hair at the base close to +the skin, pick out the fuzz and place the butts of the hairs under +the hook as in Fig. 2, Take a couple of loose turns with the tying +silk, hold the tips of the hair with the thumb and finger of the +left hand, and pull the tying silk down tight. You will notice that +the hairs spin around the hook and the butt ends will stand out +pretty much at right angles to the hook, as in Fig. 3. Cut off the +tip end of the hairs on the dotted line, press the hairs back +tightly, apply a drop of water-proof lacquer to the base of the +hairs and the hook, and repeat the same process of tying on a small +bunch of hair, each time pressing it back tightly. Remember this is +important, because the hair must be as close together as possible +to make a firm, smooth, buoyant body. +</p> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{55} +</p> + +<h4 align="center">Diagram 9 +</h4> + +<center><img src="images/diagram9.jpg" alt="Page sized diagram +showing drawings of bass bug construction." width="900" +height="1408"> +</center> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{56} +</p> + +<p> +When you have built the body up until it looks something like +Fig. 4, remove it from the vise and with a sharp pair of scissors +trim and shape it until it looks like Figs. 5 and 6. At this stage +you should have 3/16" of the shank of the hook left just behind the +eye, where you will tie on the wings. Cover this bare hook with the +well waxed tying silk, and lay a bunch of hair on top of the hook +for wings as Fig. 7. Crisscross the tying silk around the wings and +the hook until they are securely tied together. Place several coats +of lacquer over he junction of the wings and hook, to more securely +bind them in place. Lacquer the entire wings if you wish and when +they have partially dried, press them flat, spread them, trim them +as Fig. 8, and your Bug is completed. +</p> + +<p> +Any combination of color may be used, different colored wings +and tail, different colored rings in the body. White body with red +tail and wings is a good pattern. Yellow body, black wings and tail +another. Various feather combinations can be used for wings and +tall. Create your own designs, and develop your patterns. +</p> + +<p align="left"> +{57} +</p> + +<h3 align="center"> +CORK BODIED BASS BUGS (SEE DIAGRAM 10) +</h3> +<p> +These high floaters are easy to make and may be tied on most any +size hook desired. Kinked shank hooks should be used to prevent the +body from turning on the hook. Colored lacquer or enamel can be +used to decorate the bodies, and eyes can be either painted on, or +regular small glass eyes inserted and held in place with +water-proof glue or lacquer. Any of the fancy feathers that are +used for regular bass flies can be used for wings. Hair or feathers +can be used for tails, etc. Let us first make one of these cork +bodied Bugs on a size 1/0 hook. Take a 1/2" cork cylinder and with +a razor blade shape it roughly as Diagram 10, Figs. 1 and 2. Then +with a piece of 00 sandpaper held in the right hand and the +cylinder in the left it is a very simple matter to give the body a +nice smooth, shapely finish. Next cut a small V out of the body as +in Fig. 3. This is easier to fit to the hook and easier to cement +securely than simply making a slit in the cork. Press the V slit +over the hook as in Fig. 4. Apply cement or lacquer liberally to +the inside of the V slot, and to the hook shank. Press the piece +that was removed securely back into place, bind tightly with +string, as in Fig. 5, and let set over night. Next day when the +cement has thoroughly dried and the body is permanently fastened to +the hook, remove the string and with the sandpaper touch up any +rough places on the body, and give a coat of lacquer or enamel of +the desired color. +</P> + +<p align="left"> +{58} +</p> + +<h4 align="center"> +Diagram 10 +</h4> + +<center><img src="images/diagram10.jpg" width="900" height="1371" +alt="Page sized diagram showing drawings of cork bodied bass bug +construction."> +</center> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left">{59} +</p> + +<p> +When the body enamel has dried, take a pair of feathers for +wings (whole feathers that have the quill in the centre, same as +are used for regular bass fly wings are best), and with the tying +silk bind these fast to the top side of the shoulders as in Fig. 6. +Tie on a tail close to the body, paint on the eyes, paint any other +color or designs you wish on the body, and the Bug is +completed.</p> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{60} +</p> + +<a name="knots"> +</a> + +<h4 align="center">Diagram 11 +</h4> + +<center><img src="images/diagram11.jpg" width="900" height="1077" +alt="Page sized diagram showing drawings of angler's knots."> +</center> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{61} +</p> + +<h4 align="center"> +ANGLER'S KNOTS +</h4> + +<p> +Figs. 1, 2 and 3 in Diagram 11, page (60) show a very convenient +way to tie a dropper loop in the leader; roll the gut between thumb +and finger at (A) Fig. 1, next invert loop (B) through (C) Figs. 2 +and 3. +</p> + +<p> +Figs. 4, 5, and 6 make the best knot for or a loop in the end of +a leader, gut snells etc. Pull loop (C) through loop (B) Figs. 5 +and 6. +</p> + +<p> +Figs. 7, 8, and 9 are about the easiest and most secure knots +for making leaders, the ends are in the centre of the finished knot +and can be clipped close. +</p> + +<p> +Figs. 10, 11, and 12, the figure eight knot, is the best for +tying flies to the leader, it won't slip, and the pull is in line +with the hook shank. +</p> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{62} +</p> + +<a name="favorite"> +</a> + +<h4 align="center">MY FAVORITE FLIES +</h4> + +<p> +Quite frequently I am asked which fly I like the best, or which +particular patterns I would choose should I carry only a few flies +with me on a trip. That is rather a difficult question to answer. +The season, the type of fishing and location must be taken into +consideration. +</p> + +<p> +There must be some reason for so many hundreds of patterns. I +hardly believe that any half dozen patterns can be used with +constant success throughout the season, even in one particular +locality. There are times, when fish are feeding, that they will +take anything; again one may change fly after fly without success, +when finally a fly will be tried that will take fish on every cast. +Suppose that particular fly wasn't included in the chosen few, the +answer is obvious. +</p> + +<p> +However, I will endeavor to choose six patterns each of the +various styles, and to give my reasons for their choice, but here I +assure you there will always be many more patterns in my fly box +for further trial, after I have exhausted my favorite six.</p> +<p>Beginning with dry flies, my first choice would be {63} a Quill +Gordon, on a size 16 hook. This fly closely represents the numerous +duns that are on or about the water, to some extent, during the +entire season. I have little faith in color in the dry fly, except +light or dark shades. I do believe that the size and shape have a +great deal more to do with the success of a dry fly than color. I +have proven to my own satisfaction that a Quill Gordon sparsely +dressed as it should be, but tied with a black hackle and yellow +mallard wings, is just as successful as the customary dressing.</p> +<p>My second choice would be the Red Ant. Although this fly belongs +to the order Hymenoptera, it can be used when many of the Diptera +order are on the water, such as Cowdung, Blue bottle, Bee, etc. +This family all have flat wings and make an entirely different +appearance than the aforementioned Quill Gordon. I tie the Red Ant +on a size 14 hook. I build the body first of red silk floss, shape +it like the body of an ant, give it a couple of coats of clear +lacquer and let it dry hard and shiny. This body will reflect +light, much as the natural insect. I then tie on two hackle tips +for wings. Have them about as long as the hook, spread them so they +are at about a 30 degree angle from the body and very flat. I then +use a brown saddle hackle with fibers about 3/4" long for legs. I +put on only two or three turns of the hackle, and then clip off all +of the top and bottom hackles, leaving only about six fibers +sticking {64} straight out on each side. This fly will float very +close to the water, and because of its sparse dressing, slightly +heavy body because of the lacquer, it is not a good floater. It +also has the disadvantage of being hard to see. However, it is +still my second choice, and properly dressed, and fished with a +very fine leader, will take many nice fish. +</p> + +<p> +My third choice is the Fan Wing Royal Coachman. This fly was +never supposed to represent any particular family but I believe it +is taken by fish for the Lepidoptera, large-winged moths and +butterflies. It seems to be very successful when these are about in +the evening. +</p> + +<p> +My fourth choice is the Furnace Spider. This fly I tie on a size +16 short shank hook, by winding only about three turns of a furnace +saddle hackle, with fibers about three fourths of an inch long. +Tied in this manner, without any body or tail, the fly will alight +on the water with the hook down, and looked at from beneath, +against the light, only the little black spot will be noticeable. +This I believe represents some of the order Coleoptera (beetles) +and also the small black gnat (Empidae). I know if no other ways to +tie the Black Gnat small enough to represent the natural insect, +and even on the very smallest hook, the artificial is usually many +times larger than the natural. The small black centre of the +furnace saddle hackle tied in this manner seems to represent the +size of the natural very {65} closely. This fly is a very good +floater and an excellent fly when trout are feeding on those small +insects. +</p> + +<p> +My fifth choice is the Grannon. This fly is of the order of +Trihoptera, and has different shaped wings than any of those +previously mentioned, the wings being quite full and roof shaped. +It is on the water a good part of the season, and can be used when +other flies with this shape wing are about, such as the alder fly, +cinnamon fly, etc. +</p> + +<p> +My next and sixth choice of dry fly would be the Brown Palmer, +made on a size 12 long shank hook with a full body of peacock herl, +and palmer hackle, wound not too full. This I believe is taken by +the trout for many of the caterpillars. +</p> + +<p> +My personal choice of these six patterns should now appear quite +obvious, should it be necessary for me to limit myself to such a +small selection. I have selected one each of the six most prominent +orders, and should any one of the hundreds of families of these +orders be in prominence on the water, I would at least have the +correct size or color. +</p> + +<p> +My choice of the standard pattern wet flies, Feather Streamers, +Bucktail Streamers, and nymphs would be a little more difficult. I +am a firm believer that color plays a very important part in the +dressing of wet flies, as well as size and style. I offer my +personal choice of these styles because of the consistency with +which they {66} have taken fish for me during many years of fishing +all parts of the country. +</p> + +<p> +I do not hesitate to say that I have taken more trout, of all +kinds, on a brown hackle with peacock herl body, than any of the +other common wet fly patterns. This is probably because I have used +it more. I do believe that in the north, and especially for brook +trout, a fly with a little red in it is more productive. Therefore, +for northern fishing I would select Royal Coachman, Parmachene +Belle, and Montreal. Other favorite flies that are good most +anywhere in North America are Grizzly King, Queen O'Waters; Cahill, +and Grey Hackle. +</p> + +<p> +Feather Streamers and Hair Streamers are being more extensively +used each year. Many authorities are of firm conviction that these +flies unquestionably represent small minnows, upon which the fish +are in the habit of feeding. This may be true, but I have seen many +rubber, metal and composition minnows, that were exact replicas of +the naturals, both as to color and size, and they would not take +fish as would the Feather or Hair Streamers, fished in the same +waters at the same time. +</p> + +<p> +Most of my experience with Feather Streamers and also Hair +Streamers has been for Landlocked Salmon and Rainbow Trout, in big +waters. So I will list these according to the way they have +produced for me. The {67} Black Ghost on a #4 long shank hook has +been my most successful Feather Streamer. Probably because its +white streamers are easily seen by the fish. It will most always +raise fish, even if not the proper fly to make them strike. The +Grey Ghost is another, and one of the most popular streamers in the +North for Landlocked Salmon. This fly, as well as the Supervisor, +Spencer Bay Special and numerous other flies of this style, were +originally designed by their creators to represent the smelt, a +favorite food of the salmon. These flies vary so in their color +combinations that I wonder what the fish do take them for. However, +I do know that a Grey Ghost will work when a Supervisor will not, +and vice versa. One is grey and the other is blue. When fishing in +lakes with a Feather Streamer for trout I have consistently had +most luck with a creation of my own, Gregg's Demon. This fly was +never tied to represent anything, but I have taken many nice fish +on it, and have seen little fellows hardly as long as the fly +itself chase it, and try their best to bite it in two. There is +just something about it that has "fish appeal." +</p> + +<p> +A Brown Bucktail with a silver body on a #6 3x long shank hook +rates number one in Bucktail streamers. Another excellent fly that +has been a favorite for years, is a Yellow and Red Bucktail, with a +silver body, the red only a narrow streak through the centre. This +fly has recently been named "Mickey Finn." A red and {68} white, +with silver or gold body is a real good pattern where there are +brook trout, and tied on a large hook is very good for bass.</p> +<p>I use one with all white bucktail and silver body, the same as I +do a Black Ghost, for locating fish. I find they will most always +show their presence, one way or another when a white fly is cast +near them. +</p> + +<p> +An all yellow with black streak in the centre same as the +"Mickey Finn" is another very good combination. This is an +excellent pickerel and bass fly.

Page sized drawing of parts of a fly.] + + +{vii} + +INTRODUCTION + +The object of this book will be throughout its entirety to teach in a +practical manner the art of Fly Tying in all its branches. The +principles used herein, and the methods of construction employed, are +those used by the professional fly-tier who practices fly-making for the +sake of art, and tries to achieve with each finished fly, a masterpiece. + +None of the short-cuts employed by those whose business is quantity +production will be attempted. Only the making of flies of the very +highest quality and most durable construction will be attempted. +In describing the principals of construction with the following +illustrations, it will be impossible to describe in detail each +standard pattern; however, it must be remembered that the fundamentals +applying to each style of fly will be the principal bases of +construction of all flies of that style, and that the use of different +body materials, hackles, wings or size will simply change the pattern +and not the fundamental points of construction. + +Dressings for hundreds of standard patterns will be found fully +described elsewhere in this book. For clearness {viii} of understanding +please note that where a fly is described in this book as having grey +wings, or red body, etc., and no particular feather or material is +specified, it means that any feather or body material may be used. When +a particular feather, body, hackle, tail, etc., must be used it will be +so stated. + +Each year a steadily increasing number of anglers are learning to tie +their own flies. Not many years ago, there were few in America outside +of professional tiers who understood the art. Now on each angling trip, +at least one is sure to be met, who has discovered the great thrill of +taking fish on flies of his own tying. + +To those who are anticipating the making of their own flies for the +first time, there is the opportunity to exercise one's ingenuity in the +creation of new patterns. To prolong your fishing seasons throughout the +long winter evenings, in the confines of your own den, where, with a +supply of fur, feathers and tinsel, can be enjoyed a profitable, +artistic and pleasant hobby. And the thrill of seeing in each finished +imitation of Ephemeridae, Muscidae and Formicidae, a masterpiece to +bring the joy of living and dreams of spring to the angler's heart. + +Beginners are requested to reject any inclination to skip over the +first part of this book, nor to attempt the tying of the more delicate +and difficult dry flies before they have had sufficient preliminary +training. {ix} This book is so written that the easier flies to make are +the first encountered. Although you may not expect to use Bucktail +Streamers, the fundamental principles employed in their construction, +the knack of handling fur, feathers and tinsel, will be acquired, and a +sense of proportion will be realized. I sincerely encourage you to begin +at the beginning, and by careful and patient study the satisfactory +result will be the ability to make flies that are second to none. + +The illustrations in this book are all drawn to correct proportions +except the tying silk, which is purposely drawn large for clearness +of illustration. Follow these illustrations, and begin by making a +very careful study of Diagram 3, "Bucktails" (page 15). Here will +be learned how to overcome some of the difficulties encountered by +beginners. Many of the fundamentals learned in tying Bucktails are +used in tying all of the flies to follow. For instance, in putting +the wings or tail on a wet fly, the same method of holding the wing +between the thumb and finger and making the loose loop, are explained +as when putting the hair or tail on a Bucktail. Putting the wings on +a fly correctly seems to be the greatest difficulty encountered by +the beginner. Consequently, the necessity of carefully studying +Figs. 4, 5, 10, and 11 of Diagram 3 cannot be too greatly emphasized. +Before tying any other part of the fly, place a bare hook in the +vise, and practice tying on the tail, {x} and then the wings, until you +have mastered this knack, and have the wings and tail setting straight +on top of the hook, as in Figs. 4, 5, 10 and 11 of Diagram 3. First +using hair and then a section of feather. + +Other faults of the beginner where literal descriptions are followed +entirely or where illustrations are not drawn to correct proportions or +followed closely are as follows. The wings are usually too large, and +much too long for the size of the hook, and the tail is most always too +long, as are the hackles. The bodies seldom have a nicely tapered shape, +and most always start too far back on the hook shank. The ribbing is +seldom put on in even tight spirals. The hair on hair flies is always +too long, and too much is used. The head is too large, because the tying +silk is not wound tightly and smoothly. The eye of the hook on the +finished fly is filled with hair, tying silk, hackles and cement. + +I do not mean to criticize these common mistakes of the beginner. +Instead, I merely wish to call them to your mind, and assure you that +they are not necessary, and will not happen if you will diligently +follow instructions in this book. + + +{xi} + +[Illustration: Diagram 2. Page sized drawings of wet flies and feathers.] + + +{xii} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of tools.] + + +{1} + +TOOLS, HOOKS AND +MATERIALS + +Very few tools are required by the Fly-Tier. Those that are necessary +are inexpensive, and most of them can be homemade. However, as with any +other craft good tools are an asset. I advise the beginner to procure +the following: + +TOOLS + +Fly-Tiers' vise. There are many styles of fly-tying vises on the market. +The simplest is just a slot cut in a 3/8" piece of square steel with a +hacksaw, and a thumb screw to tighten the slot. This type of vise will +work all right, although rather clumsy and hard to tighten enough to +hold the hook truly. Another simple vise is just a small pin chuck, +soldered to one end of a 1/4" brass rod, bent at the desired angle, and +the other end of the rod soldered to a small C clamp. However, I prefer +a vise of the cam lever type. That is, a vise that has a cam lever for +opening and closing the jaws. These vises, of which there are +several makes, are {2} adjustable to various angles and hook sizes. They +will hold all sizes of hooks very firmly, and are easily and quickly +opened with a flip of the lever. + +Hackle Pliers. These can be purchased for about fifty cents and will +prove a worthwhile investment, as they are rather difficult to make +satisfactorily. + +Scissors. One pair with curved blades and sharp points for small flies +and one pair with small straight blades. A needle pushed into a stick, +for picking out hackles that are wound under, and for putting lacquer on +the finished head, completes the list of necessary tools. + +HOOKS + +Hooks used for fly-tying differ somewhat from those used for bait +fishing etc., inasmuch as they are usually hollow ground, and tapered +shank especially those used for dry flies. The tapered shank next to the +eye allows the head of the fly to be tied smaller, and also reduces the +weight of the hook, an advantage for dry flies. Of course flies may be +tied on any style or grade of hook, but considering the work involved in +making the fly, and realizing that with an old razor blade the fly can +be quickly removed from the hook should the first attempts prove +unsatisfactory, you will see the advantage in using good hooks. + + +{3} + +[Illustration: Page sized diagram showing drawings of hooks.] + + +{4} + +MATERIALS + +Materials used by the Fly-Tier cover an extremely large field. Although +only a few simple and easily obtained items are necessary for a start, +it is interesting to know that furs, feathers and body materials come +from all parts of the world. There's the jungle cock from India whose +neck feathers are extensively used on salmon flies and a very large +percentage of all fancy flies. The golden pheasant from China, the +bustard from Africa, the Mandarin wood duck from China, the capercailzie +from Ireland, the game cocks from Spain and the Orient, the teal, +mallard, grouse, ibis, swan, turkey, and hundreds of others. The polar +bear, Impala, North and South American deer, seal, black bear, skunk, +rabbit, squirrel, are a few of the hairs that are used. The beginner +need not worry about the great variety. Some hooks, silk floss and spun +fur or wool yarn and chenille for bodies, a few sizes of tinsel for +ribbing, bucktails of three or four colors, an assortment of duck and +turkey wing quills some mallard breast, an assortment of neck and saddle +hackles, a spool of tying silk, a piece of wax, a bottle of head +lacquer, and many of the popular patterns can be made. Numerous other +items can be added from time to time, and the novice Fly-Tier will soon +find himself in possession of a collection of fuzzy furs and feathers +that will delight the heart of any professional, and from which any +conceivable lure can be made to attract the denizens of the shady pools. + +{5} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of body materials.] + + +{6} + +BODY MATERIAL: Tinsel, Silk Floss, Fur, Chenille, Wool, Quill +and Cork are used for bodies. The most commonly used for Bucktail +Streamers is flat tinsel ribbed with oval tinsel or no ribbing at all. +About the easiest body to make is one of chenille ribbed with tinsel. +Silk floss is mostly used for wet and dry fly bodies. The domestic silk +floss, which is called rope, can be successfully used for the larger +flies, by untwisting and using a few of the smaller strands. An imported +floss of one single strand, with a very slight twist, is especially made +for fly-tying; this will work much better on the smaller hooks. Fur for +fur bodies, which formerly had to be plucked from the hide, dyed the +desired color, and spun on the waxed tying silk, can now be obtained in +all standard fly colors. It is called Spun Fur, and is very convenient +to use in this manner. + +QUILL BODIES: Quill makes an excellent and very lifelike body, +especially on dry flies. The quill from the eyed peacock tail feather is +mostly used. That taken from the eye of the feather when stripped of its +fibers has a two tone effect, and when wound upon the hook without +overlapping makes a very lifelike and delicate appearing body. + + +{7} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of feathers.] + + +{8} + +HERL BODIES: Both peacock and ostrich herl is used for bodies. +These make a fuzzy body. Tie in one or two strands by the tip end and +wind on edgewise. + +HACKLES: These are the most important part of the dry fly. Only those +from the neck of a mature cock are satisfactory. Hackles for the dry fly +must be stiff with very little or no web. With such hackles a dry fly +can be sparsely dressed as it should be and still maintain its natural +balance and floating qualities. On the other hand, a wet fly should +sink readily, and should be made with very soft webby hackles. These +absorb water quickly, and have better action in the water. Contrary to +the customary way to tie hackles on the wet fly, as explained in the +chapter "Wet Flies", I find it very convenient and economical to strip +the fibers from any size hackle, clip off the butt ends to the desired +length and tie them on the bottom of the hook, the same as buck tail is +tied on. As wet flies should have hackles only on the bottom or +underneath side, many hackles that are otherwise too large can be used +in this way. + +TAILS: A few fibers from a golden or silver pheasant neck tippet, whisks +from a hackle feather, a strip of wing or breast feather, a few hairs, +etc., are used for tails. Many of the standard patterns are tied without +tails; however, on all of my dry flies, I tie three or four stiff fibers +or hairs. They balance the fly and help it to float much better. + +{9} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of feathers.] + + +{10} + +CHEEKS OR SHOULDERS: As per Fig. 9, Diagram 1, these are used on a +great many of the fancy flies. These are straps of one or several +feathers of contrasting colors. Jungle cock feathers, golden pheasant +tippets, silver pheasant body feathers, as on the Grey Ghost streamer +fly, blue chatterer, and many other fancy feathers according to pattern +and fancy are used for this purpose. A pair of jungle cock tippets often +called eyes, added to a Bucktail Streamer will often take trout, when +the same pattern without the jungle cock will not. + +RIBBING: Tinsel, Wool, Silk, Horse Hair, Quill, etc., are used for +ribbing. The tinsel from your Xmas tree will do, but it is much better +to use tinsel made for the purpose, as it will not tarnish so +quickly and is much stronger. It is advisable before using tinsel to +place a drop of good, clear head lacquer between the thumb and finger +and draw the tinsel through it. This makes it tarnish-proof, and is +particularly advisable with the oval and round tinsel that is wound +over a silk core. Besides tarnish-proofing it, it will keep the tinsel +from coming apart. Tinsel bodies should be lacquered after they are +finished. + + +{11} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of feathers.] + + +WINGS: Several styles of wings are used, see Diagram 2, page xi, those +on Fig. 1, and are cut from a pair of matched wing quill feathers, like +Fig. 7. Those in Fig. 2 are buzz wings taken from a pair of breast +feathers {12} (mallard, wood duck, etc.) shown in Fig. 8. Fig. 3 shows +hackle tip wings, tips of two hackle feathers, see Fig. 9. Fan wings, +Fig. 4, are a matched pair of small breast feathers, see Fig. 10 (white +duck, mallard, teal, grouse, etc.). In fact there is hardly a bird that +flies that does not supply some of its plumage to the Fly-Tier. Flies +of the order Diptera (land flies), such as the Bee, Cowdung, Blue Bottle, +etc., should be tied with flat wings as in Fig. 5. A Bi-visible is shown +in Fig. 6. This is a fly without wings, hackle tied palmer (that is hackle +wound the full length of the hook, usually tied without a body, and the +dark patterns have a turn or two of white hackle in front). + +All of the flies on Diagram 2 are shown as dry flies; however, the same +feathers are used for wet flies, streamers, etc., the difference being +the style in which they are tied, which is explained elsewhere. + +WAX: Use a good grade of wax for fly-tying. The proper wax will work +much better than shoemaker's wax or beeswax. Wax for fly-tying should be +quite sticky so that when the waxed tying silk is let go of, it will not +unwind while tying the fly. + + +{13} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of feathers.] + + +TYING SILK: Ordinary sewing silk is too coarse for ordinary fly-tying +and it doesn't seem to have the strength. Size 00 is a good size for all +flies including bucktails and streamers. For dry flies and small wet +flies a gossamer silk size 000 and 0000 is the best to {14} use. +Although the strength of this fine silk is much less than the size 00, +it has the advantage that more turns can be used, and the heads can be +made much smaller. + +{15} + +BUCKTAIL STREAMERS + + +{16} + +[Illustration: Diagram 3. Page sized diagram showing drawings of bucktail +construction.] + + +Place a hook in the vise and start waxed tying silk (See Diagram 3, page +15) (A) 1/8" from eye of hook Fig. 1. Take five or six turns and cut off +end (B) Fig. 2. Wind tying silk (A) closely and smoothly down hook shank +as Fig 3. (A complete understanding of the next step will have a great +deal to do with the success of the beginner's greatest difficulty, that +is, putting on the wings; the procedure is the same for all flies, study +Fig. 4.) Hold tail material (C) between thumb and finger of the left +hand, slide the fingers down over the hook, so that the tail material +rests on top of the hook, with the hook held firmly between thumb and +finger as Fig. 4. Now loosen grip just enough to allow tying silk (A) to +pass up between thumb and tail material, form a loose loop over +material, and down, between finger and material on the other side. Now +tighten grip with thumb and finger and pull loop down tight; repeat once +more, see Fig. 5. (This knack of holding the material and hook firmly +together, until the loose loop is drawn down tightly keeps the tail, or +wings, on top of the {17} hook, and at the same time keeps them from +splitting or turning sidewise.) Now that the tail is in place, with two +turns of the tying silk (A) tie in ribbing (D) Fig. 6. Now take six or +eight close tight turns with the tying silk towards the eye of the hook, +with two more turns tie in the body material (E) Fig. 7. IF USING TINSEL +FOR BODY MATERIAL, BE SURE AND CUT THE END TO A TAPER BEFORE TYING IN as +(E) Fig. 7; this tends to make a smoother body and prevents a bunch +where the body material is tied in. Next wind tying silk (A) back to the +starting point, take a half hitch and let it hang. Now wind body +material (E) clockwise (all windings are clockwise) tightly and smoothly +back towards the barb, to the extreme rear end of the body, pull tight +and wind forward to within 1/8" of the eye, wind back and forth to form +smooth tapered body as Fig. 8 (tinsel bodies are not tapered). (If +using silk floss, untwist the floss and use only one half or one third +of the strands, do not let it twist, wind tight, and it will make a nice +smooth body.) Take two turns and a half hatch with the tying silk, and +cut off end of the material (F) Fig. 8. Take one tight turn with ribbing +(D) over butt of tail close to rear end of the body, also one turn +under the tail if tail is to be cocked. Wind ribbing spirally around the +body and tie off with two turns and a half hitch of tying silk as Fig. +9. + + +{18} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of bucktail streamers tied by the +author.] + + +{19} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of bucktails.] + + + +{20} + +Take about three dozen hairs of colored bucktail, cut off butt ends to +the length wanted for the finished fly, not more than one half again as +long as the hook, place these on top of the hook as Fig. 10 with butt +ends about 1/16" back of the eye (this is held the same as when putting +on the tail, Fig. 4). Pull down two or three loops, Fig. 11. Now take +about 175 hairs of other colored bucktail, place this on top of the +first colored bucktail the same as Fig. 10. Repeat the same operation +as Fig. 11. Before finishing the head put a drop of head lacquer on the +butt ends of the hairs to cement them in place, finish by making a +smooth tapered head with the tying silk, take three or four half +hitches, paint the head with two or three coats of lacquer and the job +is complete, unless you wish to add jungle cock cheeks, or other +combinations of feathers. This of course is done before the head is +completed. + + +{21} + +[Illustration: Diagram 4. Page sized diagram showing drawings of wet +flys.] + + +{22} + +WET FLIES + +Start the waxed tying silk (See Diagram 4, page 21) 1/8" from eye of +hook, Fig. 1. Wind tying silk (A) down shank of hook, and with last two +turns tie in tag material (B) Fig. 2. Tags (see diagram 1) usually +represent the egg sac on the female of the species. Chenille, wool, +gold, silver, silk, herl, or various other materials are used for tags. +(Ribbing, if used, is tied in just before the tag material.) Tie in tail +(C) Fig. 3 (see Fig. 4 Bucktail, Diagram 3, page 15, for directions, how +to hold the tail. Take from one to four turns with the Tag Material (B) +around the hook, take a couple of turns with tying silk (A) around the +loose end of (B) and cut off (B) as Fig. 4. Take about three or four +turns towards the eye of the hook with (A), with two more turns tie in +the body material (D) Fig. 4. Wind (A) back to the starting point, take +a half hitch and let hang. Wind body material (D) to where (A) was left +hanging. Wind (D) back and forth several times to form a tapered body, +fasten with two or three turns and a half hitch with (A) Fig. 5. Next +take hackle (E), and strip off soft web fibers on dotted line, Fig. E. +Hold hackle {23} (E) by the tip with thumb and finger of the left hand, +with the shiny side of the hackle to the right, place the butt +diagonally under the hook and take four or five tight turns and a half +hitch with (A) Fig. 6. Be sure that the hackle is tied on edgewise with +the shiny side to the front. Now grasp the tip of the hackle with the +hackle pliers and wind four or five turns clockwise around the hook. If +the hackle starts winding edgewise it will go on without any trouble, if +not better take it off and try again until you get the knack of tying +the butt in at just the right angle. Take three or four turns over the +hackle tip with (A) and clip off the tip close as Fig. 7. With the thumb +and finger of the left hand, reach from under the hook and pull all the +fibers down to the bottom, take three or four turns over them with (A) +towards the barb of the hook, to hold them in place, and to keep them +pointing well back, as Fig. 8. Next take a pair of matched (one right +and one left) turkey, goose, or other wing feathers, Fig. A, and cut a +section from each about 1/4" wide, place the two sections with tips even +and concave sides together as Fig. B. Cut off the butt ends to the right +length, that is so that the tips come even, or a little beyond the bend +of the hook. Place on top of hook as Fig. 9 and tie on the same as +previously explained in tying hair on Bucktails (Diagram 3, page 15, +Figs. 4 and 10). Finish off with a smooth tapered head, two or +three half hitches {24} and a couple of coats of good head lacquer, +Fig. 10. Many patterns are tied palmer, that is the hackle is wound the +whole length of the body. Many of the dry flies are tied this way, +especially the Bi-visibles. To tie a palmer hackle, prepare the hackle +by holding the tip of the hackle between the thumb and finger of the left +hand, and with the thumb and finger of the right hand, stroke the fibers +back so that they point towards the butt, instead of towards the tip, Fig. +C, Diagram 4. With the shiny side of the hackle up, strip off the fibers +from the bottom side as Fig. D. Now tie the hackle in by the tip as +Fig. 11. Make the body the same as before. Wind the hackle spirally around +the body and tie off the butt, Fig. 12. To make the hackle more full near +the head, one or more hackles are tied in at the same time as Figs. 6 +and 7, the palmer hackle is wound to within 1/8" of the eye and the butt +tied in and cut off the same as the tip was cut off Fig. 7. + + +{25} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of wet flies tied by the author.] + + +{26} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of feathers.] + + + +{27} + +DRY FLIES + +Start winding waxed tying silk (See Diagram 5, page 28) (A) about 1/8" +from the eye of the hook, take three or four turns towards the bend of +the hook and cut off end, Fig. 1, Diagram 5. Cut a section about 1/4" +wide from a right and one from a left wing feather, as Fig. A Diagram 4, +page 21 (duck wings are best for dry flies). Place convex sides together +(just the reverse of Fig. B, Diagram 4). Do not cut off the butt ends, +instead straddle the hook as Fig. 2, Diagram 5. Hold between the thumb +and finger of the left hand as already explained in Figs. 4 and 10, +Diagram 3, page 15. Tip the wings (B) forward so that they stand about +perpendicular to the shank, and pull down loop, Fig. 3, as explained in +Diagram 3, Fig. 4. Take one more turn with (A) around the wings (B) in +front as Fig. 4 and before loosening the grip with the left hand take +two turns around the hook close in back of the wings (B), Fig. 5. Next +pull the butt ends back tightly as Fig. 6, take two tight turns around +them with (A) and cut off on dotted line as Fig. 6. Cross (A) between +wings (B) to spread them, and wind tying silk (A) down shank of the hook +as Fig. 7. + + +{28} + +[Illustration: Diagram 5. Page sized diagram showing drawings of dry fly +construction.] + + +{29} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of Fan Wings, Dry Flies, and Nymphs +tied by the author.] + + +{30} + +From now on the body is made as previously explained, so for the sake of +variation we will tie a band in the centre, the same as a Royal +Coachman. Tie in tail (C) Fig. 8. Tie in two or three strands of peacock +herl (D) Fig. 9 with (A) and wind (A) four or five turns towards the eye +of the hook. Take three or four turns with herl (D). Tie in two strands +of silk floss (E) Fig. 10, take a few more turns with (A) over the loose +ends of (D) towards the eye of the hook. Wind silk floss (E) over the +herl about half way up the hook. Take a turn or two around silk floss +(E) with (A) and cut off end of (E) as Fig. 11. Carry (A) up to the +front of the wings. Finish body with herl (D) wound tight against the +back of the wings. (This helps to push the wings forward and to hold +them in place.) Tie off herl (D) with (A) Fig. 12. The next step of +putting on the hackle (F) is done the same as Fig. 6, Diagram 4, page +21. But here the hackle is much more important than on the wet fly. The +floating qualities of a dry fly depend entirely upon stiff neck hackle +of the proper size. (Use Hackle Chart.) Sometimes two hackles are used, +these are laid together, and both butts tied in at the same time. One +hackle of the proper size and stiffness is usually enough, so we will +use one tied in as Fig. 13 and explained in Fig. 6, Diagram 4, page +21. Clip the hackle pliers to the tip of hackle (F) and wind +about two turns edgewise in front of the wings, wind two turns close +{31} in back of the wings. Take two or three more turns in front of the +wings, all the while keeping the hackle edgewise, with the shiny side +towards the eye of the hook. Wind the hackle close so as not to fill up +the eye of the hook and to leave room for the head. Tie in the tip with +a couple of turns of (A) Fig. 14. The hackle should now be standing +straight out from the hook, with the most of it in front of the wings. +Shape a tapered head with (A). (Head should be about 1/16" long on a +size 12 hook.) Finish with two or three half hitches and a drop +of head lacquer, Fig. 15. + +Various feathers are used for wings of dry flies, such as breast +feathers from mallard, teal; partridge, grouse, black duck, wood duck. +Hackle tips, starling, duck, turkey, goose, pheasant, wing feathers, +etc. + +Two whole feathers of the proper size, with the natural curve are used +for fan wings. The tips of two feathers, or a section may be cut from +two matched feathers. All of these wings are tied on in the same manner +as previously explained. See Diagram 2 for flies tied with different +style wings. + +[Illustration: Drawing of hackle size chart at bottom of page.] + +{32} + +NYMPHS AND THEIR +CONSTRUCTION + +NYMPHS + +Nymphs are larvae of all aquatic insects. Together with minnows, +crawfish, etc., they represent about ninety per cent of the trout's +regular diet. Considering this fact, it is obvious that nymphs will take +trout throughout the entire season. It will greatly surprise the novice +to learn of the great amount of underwater insect life present in any +stream. Next time you go fishing, hold your landing net close to the +bottom, in a foot or so of fast water. Reach upstream and loosen the +stones and gravel. Raise your landing net, and notice the numerous +nymphs that have been washed from under the stones, and have attached +themselves to your net. Better still, make a screen about two feet +square, from regular 14 mesh window screening. Hold this in the water, +and have your fishing partner go upstream, and with a regular garden +rake, or some such tool, rake up the bottom, turning over the stones and +gravel. This way you can capture many nymphs. Put them in glass +bottles, take them home, and make copies of them. When next you {33} go +fishing open the first trout you catch, examine the contents of its +stomach, and determine which of the copies you have made is the proper +nymph or fly for the occasion. To fish with an imitation of the fly or +nymph upon which they are feeding, will result in a heavier creel. + +When nymph fishing it is important to use a long, finely tapered leader. +A 4x is about right. Fish in the same waters, and very much the same way +as with a dry fly except that the nymph is allowed to sink. Fish +upstream, or up and across the current. In the ripples. Around boulders. +At the edge of fast water. Let the nymph drift with the current. Follow +it with your rod tip, and be prepared to set the hook at the least +hesitation of the line. Trout will sometimes take a drifting nymph and +eject it, without being felt on the most delicate rod, so be ever on the +alert when nymph fishing. A nymph fished down stream, and retrieved with +slow, short jerks, will often work very well. When fished in this +manner, trout will strike quite hard, and usually hook themselves. + +There are times when trout are rolling on the surface and it seems +impossible to take them on anything. It is then that they are usually +feeding on nymphs, just under the surface. I remember one such time on +the Housatonic River in Connecticut last summer. Just at dark, I was +standing knee deep in very fast water. Trout {34} were breaking all +around me. I knew, they were feeding on nymphs, and tried in every way +to catch them. The water was so fast, it was impossible to keep the +nymph just the right depth below the surface. I tried every trick that +I knew, but could not get a strike. Finally reaching my hand in my +pocket, I discovered several large buckshot. Removing the nymph from the +tip of the leader, I attached five of these large shots, to the very tip +of the leader, with a piece of 3x gut tippet about four inches long. I +connected the nymph to the leader about sixteen inches from the tip. +Within the next few minutes I took several nice trout, within rod's +length of where I was standing. What actually happened, the lead was so +heavy that it immediately sank straight to the bottom, and my taut line +held the nymph suspended about two inches below the surface. The short +gut between the nymph and the leader allowed the nymph to quiver much as +the natural was doing. All the various common nymphs can be faithfully +copied, by learning to tie the various styles of those herein +illustrated. Simply alter the sizes, and color combinations, according +to those found in the waters where you fish. + +Remember nearly all the nymphs have flat bodies, and dark backs. The +bodies may be flattened by thoroughly lacquering them, and when nearly +dried squeezing them flat with an ordinary pair of pliers; or by {35} +cutting a piece of quill the shape of the body from a turkey or goose +wing. Bind this on top of the hook for the foundation of the body, and +build the body over this. When finished, lacquer the entire body. + +Most any body materials that are used for the making of other flies can +be used; however, wool is mostly used for nymphs. Silk floss wound over +a quill foundation and then lacquered, makes a very smooth, realistic +body. + + +{36} + +[Illustration: Diagram 6. Page sized diagram showing drawings of nymph +construction.] + + +THEIR CONSTRUCTION +(SEE DIAGRAM 6) + +Start tying silk (A) an eighth of an inch from the eye of the hook and +wind closely down shank, as previously done with bucktails, wet flies +etc. Next cut a section (B) from a grey goose wing feather about one +eighth inch wide, and tie on top of the hook as Fig. 1. This is to make +the tail and also the back of the nymph. Bend (B) back and take a turn +or two with (A) in front as Fig. 2. Tie in the ribbing (c) close to (B) +Fig. 3. Next tie in body material (D) close to (C) Fig. 4. Wool yarn +makes the best body material for this style nymph. Now finish the body +as for a wet fly, Fig. 5, then pull (B) tightly over the top, finish off +as Fig. 6. This makes a sort of hard shell over the back. Next turn the +hook upside down in the vise, and lay {37} three horse hairs across, just +in back of where the head is to be made, crisscross (A) between the hairs +to spread them and make them look like legs, and your nymph should look +like Fig. 7. Nymphs of this style as well as Figs. 8, 9, 10, 14 and 15 +look more natural if the bodies are flattened. Fig. 8 is tied nearly the +same as Fig. 7, the difference being that (C) and (D) are both wound +over (B) about two-thirds of the length of the body, then (B) is turned +back, the body finished as before, (B) brought forward loosely to form +the humpbacked wing case, and (B) being cut off as was done with Fig. 6, +and instead of the butt end of (B) being cut off as was done with Fig. +6 it is split by crisscrossing (A) through it to form small wings as +Fig. 8. Fig. 9 is made in the same way except that several strands of +peacock herl is used for the dark back, tail, and feelers. + +Fig. 10 is a very effective nymph, the body made entirely of natural +raffia (soaked in water before using), with black hair used for the tail +and feelers The body coated with lacquer as before mentioned and pressed +flat when dry; paint the back with dark brown or black lacquer. + +Fig. 11 is made by close wound palmer hackle cut off on dotted +lines. Fig. 12 is a fur body, made by spinning rabbit's fur or +other fur on waxed tying silk and ribbing with gold; the tougher +this nymph looks the more effective it seems to be. Fig. 13, the +Caddis {38} worm can be more naturally reproduced with a common rubber +band than any other way I know. Get a dirty, white, rubber band +about 1/8" wide, taper one end for about 1/2". Lay two horse hairs +lengthwise on top of the hook for the feelers, wind tying silk over them +down the hook, tie in the rubber band by the very tip of the taper, wind +the tying silk back to the starting point, and be sure that the tying +silk is wound smoothly. If not, any roughness will show through the +rubber band. Wind the rubber band tightly to about 1/4" back of the eye. +Wind back down and take one turn under the horsehair at the tail end, +wind up to the head and tie off with the tying silk. This now makes +three thicknesses of the rubber band. Form a large head with the tying +silk, fasten securely and you have a very realistic Caddis worm. Fig. 14 +is tied about the same as Fig. 7, with a considerable amount of speckled +mallard, and peacock herl used for both the front and back feelers as +well as the legs. + +Fig. 15. The Damsel Nymph has a body of dark grey wool with a back of +dark brown or black lacquer. Wings, small red-brown wood duck breast +feathers, feelers dark brown hackle, and a large black head. + +{39} + +THE HELGRAMITE +(SEE DIAGRAM 7) + +The Helgramite Nymph, larva of the Dobson Fly, is such an excellent bass +and trout food, that the making of this nymph deserves special mention. +As my personal way of making this particular nymph differs considerably +from those previously explained, I consider it advisable to go into +further details concerning the construction of this pattern. + +I personally like the winged style. That is, with small imitation wings +and horns, or feelers. This represents the nymph in its final underwater +stage, just before emerging from the water as the Dobson Fly. I find +black skunk tail the most satisfactory material for the body of this +nymph. Either light grey swan sides, or light grey pigeon breast +feathers for the wing and legs. + + +{40} + +[Illustration: Diagram 7. Page sized diagram showing drawings of +helgramite construction.] + + +First wind the waxed tying silk up the shank of the hook beginning +opposite the barb. Clip the fibers closely from a couple of hackle +feathers. These are to form the horns. Bind these hackle quills +to the top of the hook, so that the tip ends project about 1 1/2" +in front of the eye. Take a bunch of black skunk tail about the +size of a match and bind it to the top of the hook, with tip ends +towards the eye of the hook as in Diagram 7, Fig. 1. Next fold the hair +forward and bind down tightly as in Fig. 2. Again fold the hair back and +tie down as in {41} Fig. 3. Then again as in Fig. 4. Notice that each +time the hair is folded back upon itself and tied down, that it forms a +segment of the body, and that each segment increases in size, until your +nymph looks like Fig. 5. At this stage turn the nymph over and tie a piece +of light grey feather about 1/8" wide across the bottom, separate the +fibers with the tying silk to form the legs. Now cut a small light grey +pigeon feather with the centre quill, as dotted line in Fig. 6. Give this +a coat of clear lacquer: when dry, tie flat, on the back of the nymph to +form the first set of wings, as in Fig. 7. Cut another feather and treat +the same way, tie these slightly forward of the first set of wings, and +you have a Dobson Nymph that is very lifelike in appearance. + +{42} + +BASS FLIES +AND FEATHER STREAMERS + +It will appear obvious from a study of Diagram 8, page (43) that the +tying of bass flies and Feather Streamers differs so little from the +tying of wet flies and bucktails that a detailed description will be +unnecessary. + +Bass flies are little more than large trout lies, the +principal difference being the feathers that are used for the wings +although the same feathers can be used as for trout flies. It is +customary with commercial tiers to use two whole feathers for the wings, +or the tips of two wings feathers, etc. Place the concave sides together +and tie in the butt ends the same as for a wet fly. Bass flies to be +used as spinner flies, that is, flies to be used with a spinner in +front, should be tied on ring eyed hooks instead of hooks with turned +down or turned up eyes. + + +{43} + +[Illustration: Diagram 8. Page sized diagram showing drawings of bass +flies.] + + +{44} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of flies tied by the author.] + + +Certain patterns of these flies have for a long time been famous as +salmon flies in northern New England and Canada and the past few years +have seen them steadily growing in popularity with anglers of +Connecticut, especially for Rainbow Trout. The feathers {45} that are +used for wings are saddle hackles, and from four to eight feathers are +used, hackles of the same size are selected, the tip ends placed even, +and the concave sides of those used for the left side are placed next to +the concave sides of those used for the right side, in other words, both +the right and left side of the wing will be convex, or outside of the +feather. Any of the standard pattern flies can be tied as streamers. +Some of the patterns however, are very elaborate flies; the Supervisor, +for instance, has wings of light blue with shorter feathers of green on +each side, with peacock herl along each wing, polar bear hair, jungle +cock shoulders, a silver body, and a red tag. This fly was developed a +few years ago by Mr. Joseph Stickney, Supervisor of Wardens, State of +Maine, to imitate the smelt, a natural salmon food. The original Supervisor +did not have the jungle cock or the peacock heal. Mr. Stickney suggested +the addition of these feathers to me last year, and I believe that this +is now the approved dressing. + + +{46} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of feather streamers tied by +the author.] + + +{47} + +FAMOUS BUCKTAIL AND +FEATHER STREAMERS + +SUPERVISOR: WINGS, Blue saddle hackle with polar bear hair, and +peacock herl down each side.

Bodies covered with chenille, and other materials. One of the +easiest to make and I believe one of the most successful styles, is +entirely constructed from the body hair of the deer, reindeer, or +caribou. All of these hairs are rather coarse and hollow consequently +are very buoyant, and when properly made into a copy of the living +insect, they have a soft, lifelike body that appears very natural when +taken by a fish. These soft bodied Bugs are not so apt to be ejected +before the Angler has time to set the hook, as are those with hard +bodies. + + +{50} + +[Illustration: Page sized diagram showing bass bugs tied by the author.] + + +Although the object of this book is to teach the Angler how to tie +his own flies a few words in regards to the writer's personal +experiences in using these Bugs might not be amiss at this time. +Floating Bugs are mostly tied on large size hooks and generally used for +{51} bass. However, I have had a great deal of luck and many pleasant +experiences with them tied as small as a #14 Model Perfect hook, and +used with a 4x Leader. The small sizes will take many large trout, and +are readily accepted by all pan fish. When fishing in still waiters with +the Floating Bugs, whether it be for bass, pickerel, trout or pan fish I +use a light leader, treated so that it will sink. I cast to a likely +looking spot, beside an old stump along lily pads, or to an opening in +the lily pads themselves. I let the Bug hit the water with quite a +splash, as a living moth of the same size would, and there I let +it lie, absolutely motionless, as though stunned by the blow. By all +means do not be impatient, let the Bug lie perfectly still for two or +three minutes, and then simply move the tip of your rod just enough to +cause the Bug to quiver on the surface. Again let it lie perfectly still +for a minute or two; usually about the second time the Bug is made to +quiver you can expect a strike, and when a big bass comes after one of +these Bugs, he comes full of action. When fishing fast water, I fish +them exactly as I would a dry fly, upstream or up and across the +current. My personal choice for color is the natural brownish grey body +hair from either the deer, reindeer, or caribou. Wings, tail and body +all the same natural color. I tie this pattern from size 2/0 Model +perfect hook down to size 14, and us {52} the larger sizes for bass +and pickerel, and the smaller sizes for trout and pan fish. I +remember one very pleasant experience that happened in northern +Maine three years ago. There is a small, deep, spring fed lake of +about ten acres in area, completely surrounded by wilderness; this +lake had been stocked with, Rainbow Trout and closed to all fishing +for five years. I was fortunate in being there about two months after +it had been opened to fishing and was invited to try my luck, after +first being advised that although some very nice catches were regularly +being taken on a Streamer Fly fished deep, also on live bait and worms +with a spinner, no one had even been able to take fish on the surface. +I arrived at this lake about one hour before dark, and it was one of +those evenings when the water was actually boiling with rising trout. +In fact never before or since have I seen so many fish breaking water +at the same time. I immediately made up my mind to take fish on the +surface. I began fishing with a small spider, and changed fly after fly +for the next half hour with the same results as had been experienced by +other dry fly fishermen. In desperation and with darkness fast approaching +I tied on a size 4 Grey Bug and cast about thirty feet from shore. The Bug +hit the water with quite a splash and didn't even as much as put down one +fish, and several continued to {53} rise from within a few inches to a few +feet from where the Bug landed. I waited a couple of minutes and gave the +Bug a little twitch, nothing happened, again I twitched and again nothing +happened. I began to believe I was stumped when again the Bug was moved +ever so slightly for the fifth time, and remember this was at least seven +minutes after it first hit the water. A fish struck. In a few minutes I +landed a 2 1/4 pound Rainbow. Before darkness had brought the day to a +close I had landed three more beautiful Rainbows averaging 2 pounds +each. I had never since had the opportunity to fish in this beautiful +little lake. Some day I hope to return, and again try, and I believe +succeed in taking these beautiful Rainbow Trout on the conventional +dry fly. However, this one little experience proved conclusively to +me the absolute necessity of patience in fishing Floating Bugs. + +FLOATING BUGS: +THEIR CONSTRUCTION +(SEE DIAGRAM 9) + +First let us begin by making the most simple; that is, one that has the +Body, Wings, and Tail, all of the same material and color. Follow the +illustrations carefully and even your first attempt will be a +masterpiece. + +{54} + +Although I use well waxed 00 tying silk, you will find that regular +sewing silk size A will work best on your first attempt. First wax your +thread thoroughly and take a few turns around the shank of the hook and +tie in a small bunch of hairs for the tail, as in Diagram 9, Fig. 1, +page (55). We will assume that we are using regular deer hair cut from +the hide. Next clip a small bunch of hairs, about the size of a match, +close to the hide. You will notice there is some fuzz mixed with the +hair at the base close to the skin, pick out the fuzz and place the +butts of the hairs under the hook as in Fig. 2, Take a couple of loose +turns with the tying silk, hold the tips of the hair with the thumb and +finger of the left hand, and pull the tying silk down tight. You will +notice that the hairs spin around the hook and the butt ends will stand +out pretty much at right angles to the hook, as in Fig. 3. Cut off the +tip end of the hairs on the dotted line, press the hairs back tightly, +apply a drop of water-proof lacquer to the base of the hairs and the +hook, and repeat the same process of tying on a small bunch of hair, +each time pressing it back tightly. Remember this is important, because +the hair must be as close together as possible to make a firm, smooth, +buoyant body. + + +{55} + +[Illustration: Diagram 9. Page sized diagram showing drawings of bass +bug construction.] + + +When you have built the body up until it looks something like +Fig. 4, remove it from the vise and with a sharp pair of scissors +trim and shape it until it looks {56} like Figs. 5 and 6. At this stage +you should have 3/16" of the shank of the hook left just behind the eye, +where you will tie on the wings. Cover this bare hook with the well waxed +tying silk, and lay a bunch of hair on top of the hook for wings as Fig. +7. Crisscross the tying silk around the wings and the hook until they +are securely tied together. Place several coats of lacquer over he +junction of the wings and hook, to more securely bind them in place. +Lacquer the entire wings if you wish and when they have partially dried, +press them flat, spread them, trim them as Fig. 8, and your Bug is +completed. + +Any combination of color may be used, different colored wings and tail, +different colored rings in the body. White body with red tail and wings +is a good pattern. Yellow body, black wings and tail another. Various +feather combinations can be used for wings and tall. Create your own +designs, and develop your patterns. + +CORK BODIED BASS BUGS +(SEE DIAGRAM 10) + +These high floaters are easy to make and may be tied on most any size +hook desired. Kinked shank hooks should be used to prevent the body +from turning on the {57} hook. Colored lacquer or enamel can be used to +decorate the bodies, and eyes can be either painted on, or regular small +glass eyes inserted and held in place with water-proof glue or lacquer. +Any of the fancy feathers that are used for regular bass flies can be +used for wings. Hair or feathers can be used for tails, etc. Let us +first make one of these cork bodied Bugs on a size 1/0 hook. Take a 1/2" +cork cylinder and with a razor blade shape it roughly as Diagram 10, +Figs. 1 and 2. Then with a piece of 00 sandpaper held in the right hand +and the cylinder in the left it is a very simple matter to give the body +a nice smooth, shapely finish. Next cut a small V out of the body as in +Fig. 3. This is easier to fit to the hook and easier to cement securely +than simply making a slit in the cork. Press the V slit over the hook as +in Fig. 4. Apply cement or lacquer liberally to the inside of the V +slot, and to the hook shank. Press the piece that was removed securely +back into place, bind tightly with string, as in Fig. 5, and let set +over night. Next day when the cement has thoroughly dried and the body +is permanently fastened to the hook, remove the string and with the +sandpaper touch up any rough places on the body, and give a coat of +lacquer or enamel of the desired color. + + +{58} + +[Illustration: Diagram 10. Page sized diagram showing drawings of cork +bodied bass bug construction.] + + +When the body enamel has dried, take a pair of feathers for wings (whole +feathers that have the quill in the centre, same as are used for regular +bass fly wings are best), and with the {59} tying silk bind these fast to +the top side of the shoulders as in Fig. 6. Tie on a tail close to the +body, paint on the eyes, paint any other color or designs you wish on +the body, and the Bug is completed. + +{60} + +[Illustration: Diagram 11. Page sized diagram showing drawings of angler's +knots.] + + +{61} + +ANGLER'S KNOTS + +Figs. 1, 2 and 3 in Diagram 11, page (60) show a very convenient way to +tie a dropper loop in the leader; roll the gut between thumb and finger +at (A) Fig. 1, next invert loop (B) through (C) Figs. 2 and 3. + +Figs. 4, 5, and 6 make the best knot for or a loop in the end of a +leader, gut snells etc. Pull loop (C) through loop (B) Figs. 5 and 6. + +Figs. 7, 8, and 9 are about the easiest and most secure knots for +making leaders, the ends are in the centre of the finished knot and +can be clipped close. + +Figs. 10, 11, and 12, the figure eight knot, is the best for tying flies +to the leader, it won't slip, and the pull is in line with the hook +shank. + +{62} + +MY FAVORITE FLIES + +Quite frequently I am asked which fly I like the best, or which +particular patterns I would choose should I carry only a few flies with +me on a trip. That is rather a difficult question to answer. The +season, the type of fishing and location must be taken into +consideration. + +There must be some reason for so many hundreds of patterns. I hardly +believe that any half dozen patterns can be used with constant success +throughout the season, even in one particular locality. There are times, +when fish are feeding, that they will take anything; again one may +change fly after fly without success, when finally a fly will be tried +that will take fish on every cast. Suppose that particular fly wasn't +included in the chosen few, the answer is obvious. + +However, I will endeavor to choose six patterns each of the various +styles, and to give my reasons for their choice, but here I assure you +there will always be many more patterns in my fly box for further trial, +after I have exhausted my favorite six. + +Beginning with dry flies, my first choice would be {63} a Quill Gordon, +on a size 16 hook. This fly closely represents the numerous duns that +are on or about the water, to some extent, during the entire season. I +have little faith in color in the dry fly, except light or dark shades. +I do believe that the size and shape have a great deal more to do with +the success of a dry fly than color. I have proven to my own +satisfaction that a Quill Gordon sparsely dressed as it should be, but +tied with a black hackle and yellow mallard wings, is just as successful +as the customary dressing. + +My second choice would be the Red Ant. Although this fly belongs to the +order Hymenoptera, it can be used when many of the Diptera order are on +the water, such as Cowdung, Blue bottle, Bee, etc. This family all have +flat wings and make an entirely different appearance than the +aforementioned Quill Gordon. I tie the Red Ant on a size 14 hook. I +build the body first of red silk floss, shape it like the body of an +ant, give it a couple of coats of clear lacquer and let it dry hard and +shiny. This body will reflect light, much as the natural insect. I then +tie on two hackle tips for wings. Have them about as long as the hook, +spread them so they are at about a 30 degree angle from the body +and very flat. I then use a brown saddle hackle with fibers about +3/4" long for legs. I put on only two or three turns of the hackle, +and then clip off all of the top and bottom hackles, leaving only +about six fibers sticking {64} straight out on each side. This fly will +float very close to the water, and because of its sparse dressing, +slightly heavy body because of the lacquer, it is not a good floater. It +also has the disadvantage of being hard to see. However, it is still my +second choice, and properly dressed, and fished with a very fine leader, +will take many nice fish. + +My third choice is the Fan Wing Royal Coachman. This fly was never +supposed to represent any particular family but I believe it is taken by +fish for the Lepidoptera, large-winged moths and butterflies. It seems +to be very successful when these are about in the evening. + +My fourth choice is the Furnace Spider. This fly I tie on a size 16 +short shank hook, by winding only about three turns of a furnace saddle +hackle, with fibers about three fourths of an inch long. Tied in this +manner, without any body or tail, the fly will alight on the water with +the hook down, and looked at from beneath, against the light, only the +little black spot will be noticeable. This I believe represents some of +the order Coleoptera (beetles) and also the small black gnat (Empidae). +I know if no other ways to tie the Black Gnat small enough to represent +the natural insect, and even on the very smallest hook, the artificial +is usually many times larger than the natural. The small black centre +of the furnace saddle hackle tied in this manner seems to represent +the size of the natural very {65} closely. This fly is a very good +floater and an excellent fly when trout are feeding on those small +insects. + +My fifth choice is the Grannon. This fly is of the order of Trihoptera, +and has different shaped wings than any of those previously mentioned, +the wings being quite full and roof shaped. It is on the water a good +part of the season, and can be used when other flies with this shape +wing are about, such as the alder fly, cinnamon fly, etc. + +My next and sixth choice of dry fly would be the Brown Palmer, made on a +size 12 long shank hook with a full body of peacock herl, and palmer +hackle, wound not too full. This I believe is taken by the trout for +many of the caterpillars. + +My personal choice of these six patterns should now appear quite +obvious, should it be necessary for me to limit myself to such a small +selection. I have selected one each of the six most prominent orders, +and should any one of the hundreds of families of these orders be in +prominence on the water, I would at least have the correct size or +color. + +My choice of the standard pattern wet flies, Feather Streamers, Bucktail +Streamers, and nymphs would be a little more difficult. I am a firm +believer that color plays a very important part in the dressing of wet +flies, as well as size and style. I offer my personal choice of these +styles because of the consistency with which they {66} have taken fish +for me during many years of fishing all parts of the country. + +I do not hesitate to say that I have taken more trout, of all kinds, on +a brown hackle with peacock herl body, than any of the other common wet +fly patterns. This is probably because I have used it more. I do believe +that in the north, and especially for brook trout, a fly with a little +red in it is more productive. Therefore, for northern fishing I would +select Royal Coachman, Parmachene Belle, and Montreal. Other favorite +flies that are good most anywhere in North America are Grizzly King, +Queen O'Waters; Cahill, and Grey Hackle. + +Feather Streamers and Hair Streamers are being more extensively used +each year. Many authorities are of firm conviction that these flies +unquestionably represent small minnows, upon which the fish are in the +habit of feeding. This may be true, but I have seen many rubber, metal +and composition minnows, that were exact replicas of the naturals, both +as to color and size, and they would not take fish as would the Feather +or Hair Streamers, fished in the same waters at the same time. + +Most of my experience with Feather Streamers and also Hair Streamers +has been for Landlocked Salmon and Rainbow Trout, in big waters. +So I will list these according to the way they have produced for +me. The {67} Black Ghost on a #4 long shank hook has been my most +successful Feather Streamer. Probably because its white streamers are +easily seen by the fish. It will most always raise fish, even if not +the proper fly to make them strike. The Grey Ghost is another, and +one of the most popular streamers in the North for Landlocked Salmon. +This fly, as well as the Supervisor, Spencer Bay Special and numerous +other flies of this style, were originally designed by their creators +to represent the smelt, a favorite food of the salmon. These flies +vary so in their color combinations that I wonder what the fish do +take them for. However, I do know that a Grey Ghost will work when +a Supervisor will not, and vice versa. One is grey and the other +is blue. When fishing in lakes with a Feather Streamer for trout I have +consistently had most luck with a creation of my own, Gregg's Demon. +This fly was never tied to represent anything, but I have taken many +nice fish on it, and have seen little fellows hardly as long as the fly +itself chase it, and try their best to bite it in two. There is just +something about it that has "fish appeal." + +A Brown Bucktail with a silver body on a #6 3x long shank hook rates +number one in Bucktail streamers. Another excellent fly that has been a +favorite for years, is a Yellow and Red Bucktail, with a silver body, +the red only a narrow streak through the centre. This fly has recently +been named "Mickey Finn." A red and {68} white, with silver or gold body +is a real good pattern where there are brook trout, and tied on a large +hook is very good for bass. + +I use one with all white bucktail and silver body, the same as I do a +Black Ghost, for locating fish. I find they will most always show their +presence, one way or another when a white fly is cast near them. + +An all yellow with black streak in the centre same as the "Mickey Finn" +is another very good combination. This is an excellent pickerel and bass +fly. In fact, most any of these Feather Streamers and Bucktail Streamers +tied on larger hooks, and used with or without a spinner, are excellent +lures for both bass and pickerel. + +Nymphs: I have explained elsewhere my liking these lures, and can say +little more except that I always carry the following color combinations +in various sizes. All tied according to styles illustrated in the +diagrams. Cream Belly with Dark Back; Yellow Belly with Black Ribs and +Dark Back; Green Belly with Dark Back; Grey Belly and Gold Ribs with +Dark Back; Brown Belly and Gold Ribs with Black Back; Orange Belly and +Black Ribs with Dark Back. + +{69} + +STANDARD DRESSINGS OF 334 FLIES +ALPHABETICALLY ARRANGED + +[Transcriber's Note: Some of the names are not in strict +alphabetical order.] + +[Transcriber's Note: The dressing of each fly is described in the +following order: + + NAME + TAG + TAIL + RIBS + BODY + HACKLE + WINGS] + + Abbey + None + Orange & black + Gold + Red Floss + Brown + Grey Mottled (mallard) + + Adams + Gold + Golden tippet + None + Grey Wool + Brown and grizzly + Grey Mottled (mallard) + + Alexandra + None + Peacock herl + None + Silver + Black + Peacock sward and jungle cock + + Alder + None + None + None + Peacock herl + Black + Dark speckled Turkey or Grouse + + Apple Green + None + Brown + None + Green Silk + Brown + Dark Grey + + Ash Dun + None + Grey + None + Silver Grey + Grey + Lt.

The +principles used herein, and the methods of construction employed, +are those used by the professional fly-tier who practices +fly-making for the sake of art, and tries to achieve with each +finished fly, a masterpiece. +</p> + +<p> +None of the short-cuts employed by those whose business is +quantity production will be attempted. Only the making of flies of +the very highest quality and most durable construction will be +attempted. In describing the principals of construction with the +following illustrations, it will be impossible to describe in +detail each standard pattern; however, it must be remembered that +the fundamentals applying to each style of fly will be the +principal bases of construction of all flies of that style, and +that the use of different body materials, hackles, wings or size +will simply change the pattern and not the fundamental points of +construction. +</p> + +<p> +Dressings for hundreds of standard patterns will be found fully +described elsewhere in this book. For clearness {viii} of +understanding please note that where a fly is described in this +book as having grey wings, or red body, etc., and no particular +feather or material is specified, it means that any feather or body +material may be used. When a particular feather, body, hackle, +tail, etc., must be used it will be so stated. +</p> + +<p> +Each year a steadily increasing number of anglers are learning +to tie their own flies. Not many years ago, there were few in +America outside of professional tiers who understood the art. Now +on each angling trip, at least one is sure to be met, who has +discovered the great thrill of taking fish on flies of his own +tying. +</p> + +<p> +To those who are anticipating the making of their own flies for +the first time, there is the opportunity to exercise one's +ingenuity in the creation of new patterns. To prolong your fishing +seasons throughout the long winter evenings, in the confines of +your own den, where, with a supply of fur, feathers and tinsel, can +be enjoyed a profitable, artistic and pleasant hobby. And the +thrill of seeing in each finished imitation of Ephemeridae, +Muscidae and Formicidae, a masterpiece to bring the joy of living +and dreams of spring to the angler's heart. +</p> + +<p> +Beginners are requested to reject any inclination to skip over +the first part of this book, nor to attempt the tying of the more +delicate and difficult dry flies before they have had sufficient +preliminary training. {ix} This book is so written that the easier +flies to make are the first encountered. Although you may not +expect to use Bucktail Streamers, the fundamental principles +employed in their construction, the knack of handling fur, feathers +and tinsel, will be acquired, and a sense of proportion will be +realized. I sincerely encourage you to begin at the beginning, and +by careful and patient study the satisfactory result will be the +ability to make flies that are second to none. +</p> + +<p> +The illustrations in this book are all drawn to correct +proportions except the tying silk, which is purposely drawn large +for clearness of illustration. Follow these illustrations, and +begin by making a very careful study of Diagram 3, "Bucktails" +(page 15). Here will be learned how to overcome some of the +difficulties encountered by beginners. Many of the fundamentals +learned in tying Bucktails are used in tying all of the flies to +follow. For instance, in putting the wings or tail on a wet fly, +the same method of holding the wing between the thumb and finger +and making the loose loop, are explained as when putting the hair +or tail on a Bucktail. Putting the wings on a fly correctly seems +to be the greatest difficulty encountered by the beginner. +Consequently, the necessity of carefully studying Figs. 4, 5, 10, +and 11 of Diagram 3 cannot be too greatly emphasized. Before tying +any other part of the fly, place a bare hook in the vise, and +practice tying on the tail, {x} and then the wings, until you have +mastered this knack, and have the wings and tail setting straight +on top of the hook, as in Figs. 4, 5, 10 and 11 of Diagram 3. First +using hair and then a section of feather. +</p> + +<p> +Other faults of the beginner where literal descriptions are +followed entirely or where illustrations are not drawn to correct +proportions or followed closely are as follows. The wings are +usually too large, and much too long for the size of the hook, and +the tail is most always too long, as are the hackles. The bodies +seldom have a nicely tapered shape, and most always start too far +back on the hook shank. The ribbing is seldom put on in even tight +spirals. The hair on hair flies is always too long, and too much is +used. The head is too large, because the tying silk is not wound +tightly and smoothly. The eye of the hook on the finished fly is +filled with hair, tying silk, hackles and cement. +</p> + +<p> +I do not mean to criticize these common mistakes of the +beginner. Instead, I merely wish to call them to your mind, and +assure you that they are not necessary, and will not happen if you +will diligently follow instructions in this book.</p> +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{xi} +</p> + +<h4 align="center"> +Diagram2 +</h4> + +<center><img src="images/diagram2.jpg" width="900" height="1119" +alt="Diagram 2.

Those that are +necessary are inexpensive, and most of them can be homemade. +However, as with any other craft good tools are an asset. I advise +the beginner to procure the following: +</p> + +<h3 align="center">TOOLS +</h3> + +<p> +<i>Fly-Tiers' vise.</i> There are many styles of fly-tying vises +on the market. The simplest is just a slot cut in a 3/8" piece of +square steel with a hacksaw, and a thumb screw to tighten the slot. +This type of vise will work all right, although rather clumsy and +hard to tighten enough to hold the hook truly. Another simple vise +is just a small pin chuck, soldered to one end of a 1/4" brass rod, +bent at the desired angle, and the other end of the rod soldered to +a small C clamp. However, I prefer a vise of the cam lever type. +That is, a vise that has a cam lever for opening and closing the +jaws. These vises, of which there are several makes, are {2} +adjustable to various angles and hook sizes. They will hold all +sizes of hooks very firmly, and are easily and quickly opened with +a flip of the lever. +</p> + +<p> +<i>Hackle Pliers.</i> These can be purchased for about fifty +cents and will prove a worthwhile investment, as they are rather +difficult to make satisfactorily. +</p> + +<p> +<i>Scissors.</i> One pair with curved blades and sharp points +for small flies and one pair with small straight blades. A needle +pushed into a stick, for picking out hackles that are wound under, +and for putting lacquer on the finished head, completes the list of +necessary tools. +</p> + +<h3 align="center">HOOKS +</h3> + +<p> +Hooks used for fly-tying differ somewhat from those used for +bait fishing etc., inasmuch as they are usually hollow ground, and +tapered shank especially those used for dry flies. The tapered +shank next to the eye allows the head of the fly to be tied +smaller, and also reduces the weight of the hook, an advantage for +dry flies. Of course flies may be tied on any style or grade of +hook, but considering the work involved in making the fly, and +realizing that with an old razor blade the fly can be quickly +removed from the hook should the first attempts prove +unsatisfactory, you will see the advantage in using good hooks. +</p> + +<br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{3} +</p> + +<h4 align="center">Various styles of hooks used for +fly-tying--actual size +</h4> + +<center><img src="images/hooks.jpg" width="450" height="571" alt= +"Page sized Diagram showing drawings of hooks."> +</center> + +<br><br><br> + +<h3 align="center"> +MATERIALS +</h3> + +<a name="materials" id="materials"> +</a> + +<p align="left"> +{4} +</p> + +<p> +Materials used by the Fly-Tier cover an extremely large field. +Although only a few simple and easily obtained items are necessary +for a start, it is interesting to know that furs, feathers and body +materials come from all parts of the world. There's the jungle cock +from India whose neck feathers are extensively used on salmon flies +and a very large percentage of all fancy flies. The golden pheasant +from China, the bustard from Africa, the Mandarin wood duck from +China, the capercailzie from Ireland, the game cocks from Spain and +the Orient, the teal, mallard, grouse, ibis, swan, turkey, and +hundreds of others. The polar bear, Impala, North and South +American deer, seal, black bear, skunk, rabbit, squirrel, are a few +of the hairs that are used. The beginner need not worry about the +great variety. Some hooks, silk floss and spun fur or wool yarn and +chenille for bodies, a few sizes of tinsel for ribbing, bucktails +of three or four colors, an assortment of duck and turkey wing +quills some mallard breast, an assortment of neck and saddle +hackles, a spool of tying silk, a piece of wax, a bottle of head +lacquer, and many of the popular patterns can be made. Numerous +other items can be added from time to time, and the novice Fly-Tier +will soon find himself in possession of a collection of fuzzy furs +and feathers that will delight the heart of any professional, +and from which any conceivable lure can be made to attract the +denizens of the shady pools. +</p> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{5} +</p> + +<h4 align="center"> +Body materials two-thirds actual size +</h4> + +<center><img src="images/p5.jpg" width="288" height="417" alt= +"Page sized photograph of body materials."> +</center> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{6} +</p> + +<p> +BODY MATERIAL: Tinsel, Silk Floss, Fur, Chenille, Wool, Quill +and Cork are used for bodies. The most commonly used for Bucktail +Streamers is flat tinsel ribbed with oval tinsel or no ribbing at +all. About the easiest body to make is one of chenille ribbed with +tinsel. Silk floss is mostly used for wet and dry fly bodies. The +domestic silk floss, which is called rope, can be successfully used +for the larger flies, by untwisting and using a few of the smaller +strands. An imported floss of one single strand, with a very slight +twist, is especially made for fly-tying; this will work much better +on the smaller hooks. Fur for fur bodies, which formerly had to be +plucked from the hide, dyed the desired color, and spun on the +waxed tying silk, can now be obtained in all standard fly colors. +It is called Spun Fur, and is very convenient to use in this +manner. +</p> + +<p> +QUILL BODIES: Quill makes an excellent and very lifelike body, +especially on dry flies. The quill from the eyed peacock tail +feather is mostly used. That taken from the eye of the feather when +stripped of its fibers has a two tone effect, and when wound upon +the hook without overlapping makes a very lifelike and delicate +appearing body. +</p> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{7} +</p> + +<h4 align="center"> +Actual size +</h4> + +<center><img src="images/p7.jpg" width="288" height="416" alt= +"Page sized photograph of feathers."> +</center> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{8} +</p> + +<p> +HERL BODIES: Both peacock and ostrich herl is used for bodies. +These make a fuzzy body. Tie in one or two strands by the tip end +and wind on edgewise. +</p> + +<p> +HACKLES: These are the most important part of the dry fly. Only +those from the neck of a mature cock are satisfactory. Hackles for +the dry fly must be stiff with very little or no web. With such +hackles a dry fly can be sparsely dressed as it should be and still +maintain its natural balance and floating qualities. On the other +hand, a wet fly should sink readily, and should be made with very +soft webby hackles. These absorb water quickly, and have better +action in the water. Contrary to the customary way to tie hackles +on the wet fly, as explained in the chapter "Wet Flies", I find it +very convenient and economical to strip the fibers from any size +hackle, clip off the butt ends to the desired length and tie them +on the bottom of the hook, the same as buck tail is tied on. As wet +flies should have hackles only on the bottom or underneath side, +many hackles that are otherwise too large can be used in this +way. + +</p> + +<p> +TAILS: A few fibers from a golden or silver pheasant neck +tippet, whisks from a hackle feather, a strip of wing or breast +feather, a few hairs, etc., are used for tails. Many of the +standard patterns are tied without tails; however, on all of my dry +flies, I tie three or four stiff fibers or hairs. They balance the +fly and help it to float much better. +</p> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{9} +</p> + +<h4 align="center"> +Two-thirds actual size +</h4> + +<center><img src="images/p9.jpg" width="288" height="418" alt= +"Page sized photograph of feathers."> +</center> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{10} +</p> + +<p> +CHEEKS OR SHOULDERS: As per Fig. 9, Diagram 1, these are used on +a great many of the fancy flies. These are straps of one or several +feathers of contrasting colors. Jungle cock feathers, golden +pheasant tippets, silver pheasant body feathers, as on the Grey +Ghost streamer fly, blue chatterer, and many other fancy feathers +according to pattern and fancy are used for this purpose. A pair of +jungle cock tippets often called eyes, added to a Bucktail Streamer +will often take trout, when the same pattern without the jungle +cock will not. +</p> + +<p> +RIBBING: Tinsel, Wool, Silk, Horse Hair, Quill, etc., are used +for ribbing. The tinsel from your Xmas tree will do, but it is much +better to use tinsel made for the purpose, as it will not tarnish +so quickly and is much stronger. It is advisable before using +tinsel to place a drop of good, clear head lacquer between the +thumb and finger and draw the tinsel through it. This makes it +tarnish-proof, and is particularly advisable with the oval and +round tinsel that is wound over a silk core. Besides +tarnish-proofing it, it will keep the tinsel from coming apart. +Tinsel bodies should be lacquered after they are finished. +</p> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{11} +</p> + +<h4 align="center"> +Two-thirds actual size +</h4> + +<center><img src="images/p11.jpg" width="288" height="422" alt= +"Page sized photograph of feathers."> +</center> + +<br><br><br> + +<p> +WINGS: Several styles of wings are used, see Diagram 2, page xi, +those on Fig. 1, and are cut from a pair of matched wing quill +feathers, like Fig. 7. Those in Fig. 2 are buzz wings taken from a +pair of breast feathers {12} (mallard, wood duck, etc.) shown in +Fig. 8. Fig. 3 shows hackle tip wings, tips of two hackle feathers, +see Fig. 9. Fan wings, Fig. 4, are a matched pair of small breast +feathers, see Fig. 10 (white duck, mallard, teal, grouse, etc.). In +fact there is hardly a bird that flies that does not supply some of +its plumage to the Fly-Tier. Flies of the order Diptera (land +flies), such as the Bee, Cowdung, Blue Bottle, etc., should be tied +with flat wings as in Fig. 5. A Bi-visible is shown in Fig. 6. This +is a fly without wings, hackle tied palmer (that is hackle wound +the full length of the hook, usually tied without a body, and the +dark patterns have a turn or two of white hackle in front).</p> +<p>All of the flies on Diagram 2 are shown as dry flies; however, +the same feathers are used for wet flies, streamers, etc., the +difference being the style in which they are tied, which is +explained elsewhere. +</p> + +<p> +WAX: Use a good grade of wax for fly-tying. The proper wax will +work much better than shoemaker's wax or beeswax.

Together with minnows, +crawfish, etc., they represent about ninety per cent of the trout's +regular diet. Considering this fact, it is obvious that nymphs will +take trout throughout the entire season. It will greatly surprise +the novice to learn of the great amount of underwater insect life +present in any stream. Next time you go fishing, hold your landing +net close to the bottom, in a foot or so of fast water. Reach +upstream and loosen the stones and gravel. Raise your landing net, +and notice the numerous nymphs that have been washed from under the +stones, and have attached themselves to your net. Better still, +make a screen about two feet square, from regular 14 mesh window +screening. Hold this in the water, and have your fishing partner go +upstream, and with a regular garden rake, or some such tool, rake +up the bottom, turning over the stones and gravel. This way you can +capture many nymphs. Put them in glass bottles, take them home, and +make copies of them. When next you {33} go fishing open the first +trout you catch, examine the contents of its stomach, and determine +which of the copies you have made is the proper nymph or fly for +the occasion. To fish with an imitation of the fly or nymph upon +which they are feeding, will result in a heavier creel.</p> +<p>When nymph fishing it is important to use a long, finely tapered +leader. A 4x is about right. Fish in the same waters, and very much +the same way as with a dry fly except that the nymph is allowed to +sink. Fish upstream, or up and across the current. In the ripples. +Around boulders. At the edge of fast water. Let the nymph drift +with the current. Follow it with your rod tip, and be prepared to +set the hook at the least hesitation of the line. Trout will +sometimes take a drifting nymph and eject it, without being felt on +the most delicate rod, so be ever on the alert when nymph fishing. +A nymph fished down stream, and retrieved with slow, short jerks, +will often work very well. When fished in this manner, trout will +strike quite hard, and usually hook themselves.</p> +<p>There are times when trout are rolling on the surface and it +seems impossible to take them on anything. It is then that they are +usually feeding on nymphs, just under the surface. I remember one +such time on the Housatonic River in Connecticut last summer. Just +at dark, I was standing knee deep in very fast water. Trout {34} +were breaking all around me. I knew, they were feeding on nymphs, +and tried in every way to catch them. The water was so fast, it was +impossible to keep the nymph just the right depth below the +surface. I tried every trick that I knew, but could not get a +strike. Finally reaching my hand in my pocket, I discovered several +large buckshot. Removing the nymph from the tip of the leader, I +attached five of these large shots, to the very tip of the leader, +with a piece of 3x gut tippet about four inches long. I connected +the nymph to the leader about sixteen inches from the tip. Within +the next few minutes I took several nice trout, within rod's length +of where I was standing. What actually happened, the lead was so +heavy that it immediately sank straight to the bottom, and my taut +line held the nymph suspended about two inches below the surface. +The short gut between the nymph and the leader allowed the nymph to +quiver much as the natural was doing. All the various common nymphs +can be faithfully copied, by learning to tie the various styles of +those herein illustrated. Simply alter the sizes, and color +combinations, according to those found in the waters where you +fish. +</p> + +<p> +Remember nearly all the nymphs have flat bodies, and dark backs. +The bodies may be flattened by thoroughly lacquering them, and when +nearly dried squeezing them flat with an ordinary pair of pliers; +or by {35} cutting a piece of quill the shape of the body from a +turkey or goose wing. Bind this on top of the hook for the +foundation of the body, and build the body over this. When +finished, lacquer the entire body.</p> +<p>Most any body materials that are used for the making of other +flies can be used; however, wool is mostly used for nymphs. Silk +floss wound over a quill foundation and then lacquered, makes a +very smooth, realistic body. +</p> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{36} +</p> + +<h4 align="center"> +Diagram 6 +</h4> + +<center><img src="images/diagram6.jpg" alt= +"Page sized diagram showing drawings of nymph construction." width= +"900" height="1083"> +</center> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{37} +</p> + +<h3 align="center"> +THEIR CONSTRUCTION (SEE DIAGRAM 6) +</h3> + +<p> +Start tying silk (A) an eighth of an inch from the eye of the +hook and wind closely down shank, as previously done with +bucktails, wet flies etc. Next cut a section (B) from a grey goose +wing feather about one eighth inch wide, and tie on top of the hook +as Fig. 1. This is to make the tail and also the back of the nymph. +Bend (B) back and take a turn or two with (A) in front as Fig. 2. +Tie in the ribbing (c) close to (B) Fig. 3.

Now finish the body as for a wet +fly, Fig. 5, then pull (B) tightly over the top, finish off as Fig. +6. This makes a sort of hard shell over the back. Next turn the +hook upside down in the vise, and lay three horse hairs across, +just in back of where the head is to be made, crisscross (A) +between the hairs to spread them and make them look like legs, and +your nymph should look like Fig. 7. Nymphs of this style as well as +Figs. 8, 9, 10, 14 and 15 look more natural if the bodies are +flattened. Fig. 8 is tied nearly the same as Fig. 7, the difference +being that (C) and (D) are both wound over (B) about two-thirds of +the length of the body, then (B) is turned back, the body finished +as before, (B) brought forward loosely to form the humpbacked wing +case, and (B) being cut off as was done with Fig. 6, and instead of +the butt end of (B) being cut off as was done with Fig. 6 it is +split by crisscrossing (A) through it to form small wings as Fig. +8.

Fig. 13, the +Caddis {38} worm can be more naturally reproduced with a common +rubber band than any other way I know. Get a dirty, white, rubber +band about 1/8" wide, taper one end for about 1/2". Lay two horse +hairs lengthwise on top of the hook for the feelers, wind tying +silk over them down the hook, tie in the rubber band by the very +tip of the taper, wind the tying silk back to the starting point, +and be sure that the tying silk is wound smoothly. If not, any +roughness will show through the rubber band. Wind the rubber band +tightly to about 1/4" back of the eye. Wind back down and take one +turn under the horsehair at the tail end, wind up to the head and +tie off with the tying silk. This now makes three thicknesses of +the rubber band. Form a large head with the tying silk, fasten +securely and you have a very realistic Caddis worm.

Some of the patterns however, are +very elaborate flies; the Supervisor, for instance, has wings of +light blue with shorter feathers of green on each side, with +peacock herl along each wing, polar bear hair, jungle cock +shoulders, a silver body, and a red tag. This fly was developed a +few years ago by Mr. Joseph Stickney, Supervisor of Wardens, State +of Maine, to imitate the smelt, a natural salmon food. The riginal +Supervisor did not have the jungle cock or the peacock heal. Mr. +Stickney suggested the addition of these feathers to me last year, +and I believe that this is now the approved dressing. +</p> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{46} +</p> + +<h4 align="center"> +Feather Streamers tied by the author (actual +size) +</h4> + +<center><img src="images/p46.jpg" width="288" height="460" alt= +"Page sized photograph of feather streamers tied by the author."> +</center> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{47} +</p> + +<a name="famous"> +</a> + +<h2 align="center"> +FAMOUS BUCKTAIL AND FEATHER STREAMERS +</h2> + +<p> +SUPERVISOR: WINGS, Blue saddle hackle with polar bear hair, and +peacock herl down each side.

These Bugs represents the large +moth, butterfly, etc., and are constructed of a large variety of +materials. Some have cork bodies. Some have Balsa Wood bodies. +Others all hair bodies. Bodies covered with chenille, and other +materials. One of the easiest to make and I believe one of the most +successful styles, is entirely constructed from the body hair of +the deer, reindeer, or caribou. All of these hairs are rather +coarse and hollow consequently are very buoyant, and when properly +made into a copy of the living insect, they have a soft, lifelike +body that appears very natural when taken by a fish. These soft +bodied Bugs are not so apt to be ejected before the Angler has time +to set the hook, as are those with hard bodies. +</p> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{50} +</p> + +<h4 align="center">Bass Bugs tied by the author (actual size)</h4> +<center><img src="images/p51.jpg" width="288" height="444" alt= +"Page sized diagram showing Bass Bugs tied by the author."> +</center> + +<br><br><br> + +<p> +Although the object of this book is to teach the Angler how to +tie his own flies a few words in regards to the writer's personal +experiences in using these Bugs might not be amiss at this time. +Floating Bugs are mostly tied on large size hooks and generally +used for {51} bass. However, I have had a great deal of luck and +many pleasant experiences with them tied as small as a #14 Model +Perfect hook, and used with a 4x Leader. The small sizes will take +many large trout, and are readily accepted by all pan fish. When +fishing in still waiters with the Floating Bugs, whether it be for +bass, pickerel, trout or pan fish I use a light leader, treated so +that it will sink. I cast to a likely looking spot, beside an old +stump along lily pads, or to an opening in the lily pads +themselves. I let the Bug hit the water with quite a splash, as a +living moth of the same size would, and there I let it lie, +absolutely motionless, as though stunned by the blow. By all means +do not be impatient, let the Bug lie perfectly still for two or +three minutes, and then simply move the tip of your rod just enough +to cause the Bug to quiver on the surface. Again let it lie +perfectly still for a minute or two; usually about the second time +the Bug is made to quiver you can expect a strike, and when a big +bass comes after one of these Bugs, he comes full of action. When +fishing fast water, I fish them exactly as I would a dry fly, +upstream or up and across the current. My personal choice for color +is the natural brownish grey body hair from either the deer, +reindeer, or caribou. Wings, tail and body all the same natural +color. I tie this pattern from size 2/0 Model perfect hook down to +size 14, and us {52} the larger sizes for bass and pickerel, and +the smaller sizes for trout and pan fish. I remember one very +pleasant experience that happened in northern Maine three years +ago. There is a small, deep, spring fed lake of about ten acres in +area, completely surrounded by wilderness; this lake had been +stocked with, Rainbow Trout and closed to all fishing for five +years. I was fortunate in being there about two months after it had +been opened to fishing and was invited to try my luck, after first +being advised that although some very nice catches were regularly +being taken on a Streamer Fly fished deep, also on live bait and +worms with a spinner, no one had even been able to take fish on the +surface. I arrived at this lake about one hour before dark, and it +was one of those evenings when the water was actually boiling with +rising trout. In fact never before or since have I seen so many +fish breaking water at the same time. I immediately made up my mind +to take fish on the surface. I began fishing with a small spider, +and changed fly after fly for the next half hour with the same +results as had been experienced by other dry fly fishermen. In +desperation and with darkness fast approaching I tied on a size 4 +Grey Bug and cast about thirty feet from shore. The Bug hit the +water with quite a splash and didn't even as much as put down one +fish, and several continued to {53} rise from within a few inches +to a few feet from where the Bug landed. I waited a couple of +minutes and gave the Bug a little twitch, nothing happened, again I +twitched and again nothing happened. I began to believe I was +stumped when again the Bug was moved ever so slightly for the fifth +time, and remember this was at least seven minutes after it first +hit the water. A fish struck. In a few minutes I landed a 2 1/4 +pound Rainbow. Before darkness had brought the day to a close I had +landed three more beautiful Rainbows averaging 2 pounds each. I had +never since had the opportunity to fish in this beautiful little +lake. Some day I hope to return, and again try, and I believe +succeed in taking these beautiful Rainbow Trout on the conventional +dry fly. However, this one little experience proved conclusively to +me the absolute necessity of patience in fishing Floating Bugs. +</p> + +<br><br> + +<h3 align="center"> +FLOATING BUGS: THEIR CONSTRUCTION (SEE DIAGRAM 9) +</h3> + +<p> +First let us begin by making the most simple; that is, one that +has the Body, Wings, and Tail, all of the same material and color. +Follow the illustrations carefully and even your first attempt will +be a masterpiece. +</p> + +<p align="left"> +{54} +</p> + +<p> +Although I use well waxed 00 tying silk, you will find that +regular sewing silk size A will work best on your first attempt. +First wax your thread thoroughly and take a few turns around the +shank of the hook and tie in a small bunch of hairs for the tail, +as in Diagram 9, Fig. 1, page (55). We will assume that we are using +regular deer hair cut from the hide. Next clip a small bunch of +hairs, about the size of a match, close to the hide. You will +notice there is some fuzz mixed with the hair at the base close to +the skin, pick out the fuzz and place the butts of the hairs under +the hook as in Fig. 2, Take a couple of loose turns with the tying +silk, hold the tips of the hair with the thumb and finger of the +left hand, and pull the tying silk down tight. You will notice that +the hairs spin around the hook and the butt ends will stand out +pretty much at right angles to the hook, as in Fig. 3. Cut off the +tip end of the hairs on the dotted line, press the hairs back +tightly, apply a drop of water-proof lacquer to the base of the +hairs and the hook, and repeat the same process of tying on a small +bunch of hair, each time pressing it back tightly. Remember this is +important, because the hair must be as close together as possible +to make a firm, smooth, buoyant body. +</p> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{55} +</p> + +<h4 align="center">Diagram 9 +</h4> + +<center><img src="images/diagram9.jpg" alt="Page sized diagram +showing drawings of bass bug construction." width="900" +height="1408"> +</center> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{56} +</p> + +<p> +When you have built the body up until it looks something like +Fig. 4, remove it from the vise and with a sharp pair of scissors +trim and shape it until it looks like Figs. 5 and 6. At this stage +you should have 3/16" of the shank of the hook left just behind the +eye, where you will tie on the wings. Cover this bare hook with the +well waxed tying silk, and lay a bunch of hair on top of the hook +for wings as Fig. 7. Crisscross the tying silk around the wings and +the hook until they are securely tied together. Place several coats +of lacquer over he junction of the wings and hook, to more securely +bind them in place. Lacquer the entire wings if you wish and when +they have partially dried, press them flat, spread them, trim them +as Fig. 8, and your Bug is completed. +</p> + +<p> +Any combination of color may be used, different colored wings +and tail, different colored rings in the body. White body with red +tail and wings is a good pattern. Yellow body, black wings and tail +another. Various feather combinations can be used for wings and +tall. Create your own designs, and develop your patterns. +</p> + +<p align="left"> +{57} +</p> + +<h3 align="center"> +CORK BODIED BASS BUGS (SEE DIAGRAM 10) +</h3> +<p> +These high floaters are easy to make and may be tied on most any +size hook desired. Kinked shank hooks should be used to prevent the +body from turning on the hook. Colored lacquer or enamel can be +used to decorate the bodies, and eyes can be either painted on, or +regular small glass eyes inserted and held in place with +water-proof glue or lacquer. Any of the fancy feathers that are +used for regular bass flies can be used for wings. Hair or feathers +can be used for tails, etc. Let us first make one of these cork +bodied Bugs on a size 1/0 hook. Take a 1/2" cork cylinder and with +a razor blade shape it roughly as Diagram 10, Figs. 1 and 2. Then +with a piece of 00 sandpaper held in the right hand and the +cylinder in the left it is a very simple matter to give the body a +nice smooth, shapely finish. Next cut a small V out of the body as +in Fig. 3. This is easier to fit to the hook and easier to cement +securely than simply making a slit in the cork. Press the V slit +over the hook as in Fig. 4. Apply cement or lacquer liberally to +the inside of the V slot, and to the hook shank. Press the piece +that was removed securely back into place, bind tightly with +string, as in Fig. 5, and let set over night. Next day when the +cement has thoroughly dried and the body is permanently fastened to +the hook, remove the string and with the sandpaper touch up any +rough places on the body, and give a coat of lacquer or enamel of +the desired color. +</P> + +<p align="left"> +{58} +</p> + +<h4 align="center"> +Diagram 10 +</h4> + +<center><img src="images/diagram10.jpg" width="900" height="1371" +alt="Page sized diagram showing drawings of cork bodied bass bug +construction."> +</center> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left">{59} +</p> + +<p> +When the body enamel has dried, take a pair of feathers for +wings (whole feathers that have the quill in the centre, same as +are used for regular bass fly wings are best), and with the tying +silk bind these fast to the top side of the shoulders as in Fig. 6. +Tie on a tail close to the body, paint on the eyes, paint any other +color or designs you wish on the body, and the Bug is +completed.</p> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{60} +</p> + +<a name="knots"> +</a> + +<h4 align="center">Diagram 11 +</h4> + +<center><img src="images/diagram11.jpg" width="900" height="1077" +alt="Page sized diagram showing drawings of angler's knots."> +</center> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{61} +</p> + +<h4 align="center"> +ANGLER'S KNOTS +</h4> + +<p> +Figs. 1, 2 and 3 in Diagram 11, page (60) show a very convenient +way to tie a dropper loop in the leader; roll the gut between thumb +and finger at (A) Fig. 1, next invert loop (B) through (C) Figs. 2 +and 3. +</p> + +<p> +Figs. 4, 5, and 6 make the best knot for or a loop in the end of +a leader, gut snells etc. Pull loop (C) through loop (B) Figs. 5 +and 6. +</p> + +<p> +Figs. 7, 8, and 9 are about the easiest and most secure knots +for making leaders, the ends are in the centre of the finished knot +and can be clipped close. +</p> + +<p> +Figs. 10, 11, and 12, the figure eight knot, is the best for +tying flies to the leader, it won't slip, and the pull is in line +with the hook shank. +</p> + +<br><br><br> + +<p align="left"> +{62} +</p> + +<a name="favorite"> +</a> + +<h4 align="center">MY FAVORITE FLIES +</h4> + +<p> +Quite frequently I am asked which fly I like the best, or which +particular patterns I would choose should I carry only a few flies +with me on a trip. That is rather a difficult question to answer. +The season, the type of fishing and location must be taken into +consideration. +</p> + +<p> +There must be some reason for so many hundreds of patterns. I +hardly believe that any half dozen patterns can be used with +constant success throughout the season, even in one particular +locality. There are times, when fish are feeding, that they will +take anything; again one may change fly after fly without success, +when finally a fly will be tried that will take fish on every cast. +Suppose that particular fly wasn't included in the chosen few, the +answer is obvious. +</p> + +<p> +However, I will endeavor to choose six patterns each of the +various styles, and to give my reasons for their choice, but here I +assure you there will always be many more patterns in my fly box +for further trial, after I have exhausted my favorite six.</p> +<p>Beginning with dry flies, my first choice would be {63} a Quill +Gordon, on a size 16 hook. This fly closely represents the numerous +duns that are on or about the water, to some extent, during the +entire season. I have little faith in color in the dry fly, except +light or dark shades. I do believe that the size and shape have a +great deal more to do with the success of a dry fly than color. I +have proven to my own satisfaction that a Quill Gordon sparsely +dressed as it should be, but tied with a black hackle and yellow +mallard wings, is just as successful as the customary dressing.</p> +<p>My second choice would be the Red Ant. Although this fly belongs +to the order Hymenoptera, it can be used when many of the Diptera +order are on the water, such as Cowdung, Blue bottle, Bee, etc. +This family all have flat wings and make an entirely different +appearance than the aforementioned Quill Gordon. I tie the Red Ant +on a size 14 hook. I build the body first of red silk floss, shape +it like the body of an ant, give it a couple of coats of clear +lacquer and let it dry hard and shiny. This body will reflect +light, much as the natural insect. I then tie on two hackle tips +for wings. Have them about as long as the hook, spread them so they +are at about a 30 degree angle from the body and very flat. I then +use a brown saddle hackle with fibers about 3/4" long for legs. I +put on only two or three turns of the hackle, and then clip off all +of the top and bottom hackles, leaving only about six fibers +sticking {64} straight out on each side. This fly will float very +close to the water, and because of its sparse dressing, slightly +heavy body because of the lacquer, it is not a good floater. It +also has the disadvantage of being hard to see. However, it is +still my second choice, and properly dressed, and fished with a +very fine leader, will take many nice fish. +</p> + +<p> +My third choice is the Fan Wing Royal Coachman. This fly was +never supposed to represent any particular family but I believe it +is taken by fish for the Lepidoptera, large-winged moths and +butterflies. It seems to be very successful when these are about in +the evening. +</p> + +<p> +My fourth choice is the Furnace Spider. This fly I tie on a size +16 short shank hook, by winding only about three turns of a furnace +saddle hackle, with fibers about three fourths of an inch long. +Tied in this manner, without any body or tail, the fly will alight +on the water with the hook down, and looked at from beneath, +against the light, only the little black spot will be noticeable. +This I believe represents some of the order Coleoptera (beetles) +and also the small black gnat (Empidae). I know if no other ways to +tie the Black Gnat small enough to represent the natural insect, +and even on the very smallest hook, the artificial is usually many +times larger than the natural. The small black centre of the +furnace saddle hackle tied in this manner seems to represent the +size of the natural very {65} closely. This fly is a very good +floater and an excellent fly when trout are feeding on those small +insects. +</p> + +<p> +My fifth choice is the Grannon. This fly is of the order of +Trihoptera, and has different shaped wings than any of those +previously mentioned, the wings being quite full and roof shaped. +It is on the water a good part of the season, and can be used when +other flies with this shape wing are about, such as the alder fly, +cinnamon fly, etc. +</p> + +<p> +My next and sixth choice of dry fly would be the Brown Palmer, +made on a size 12 long shank hook with a full body of peacock herl, +and palmer hackle, wound not too full. This I believe is taken by +the trout for many of the caterpillars. +</p> + +<p> +My personal choice of these six patterns should now appear quite +obvious, should it be necessary for me to limit myself to such a +small selection. I have selected one each of the six most prominent +orders, and should any one of the hundreds of families of these +orders be in prominence on the water, I would at least have the +correct size or color. +</p> + +<p> +My choice of the standard pattern wet flies, Feather Streamers, +Bucktail Streamers, and nymphs would be a little more difficult. I +am a firm believer that color plays a very important part in the +dressing of wet flies, as well as size and style. I offer my +personal choice of these styles because of the consistency with +which they {66} have taken fish for me during many years of fishing +all parts of the country. +</p> + +<p> +I do not hesitate to say that I have taken more trout, of all +kinds, on a brown hackle with peacock herl body, than any of the +other common wet fly patterns. This is probably because I have used +it more. I do believe that in the north, and especially for brook +trout, a fly with a little red in it is more productive. Therefore, +for northern fishing I would select Royal Coachman, Parmachene +Belle, and Montreal. Other favorite flies that are good most +anywhere in North America are Grizzly King, Queen O'Waters; Cahill, +and Grey Hackle. +</p> + +<p> +Feather Streamers and Hair Streamers are being more extensively +used each year. Many authorities are of firm conviction that these +flies unquestionably represent small minnows, upon which the fish +are in the habit of feeding. This may be true, but I have seen many +rubber, metal and composition minnows, that were exact replicas of +the naturals, both as to color and size, and they would not take +fish as would the Feather or Hair Streamers, fished in the same +waters at the same time. +</p> + +<p> +Most of my experience with Feather Streamers and also Hair +Streamers has been for Landlocked Salmon and Rainbow Trout, in big +waters. So I will list these according to the way they have +produced for me. The {67} Black Ghost on a #4 long shank hook has +been my most successful Feather Streamer. Probably because its +white streamers are easily seen by the fish. It will most always +raise fish, even if not the proper fly to make them strike. The +Grey Ghost is another, and one of the most popular streamers in the +North for Landlocked Salmon. This fly, as well as the Supervisor, +Spencer Bay Special and numerous other flies of this style, were +originally designed by their creators to represent the smelt, a +favorite food of the salmon. These flies vary so in their color +combinations that I wonder what the fish do take them for. However, +I do know that a Grey Ghost will work when a Supervisor will not, +and vice versa. One is grey and the other is blue. When fishing in +lakes with a Feather Streamer for trout I have consistently had +most luck with a creation of my own, Gregg's Demon. This fly was +never tied to represent anything, but I have taken many nice fish +on it, and have seen little fellows hardly as long as the fly +itself chase it, and try their best to bite it in two. There is +just something about it that has "fish appeal." +</p> + +<p> +A Brown Bucktail with a silver body on a #6 3x long shank hook +rates number one in Bucktail streamers. Another excellent fly that +has been a favorite for years, is a Yellow and Red Bucktail, with a +silver body, the red only a narrow streak through the centre. This +fly has recently been named "Mickey Finn." A red and {68} white, +with silver or gold body is a real good pattern where there are +brook trout, and tied on a large hook is very good for bass.</p> +<p>I use one with all white bucktail and silver body, the same as I +do a Black Ghost, for locating fish. I find they will most always +show their presence, one way or another when a white fly is cast +near them. +</p> + +<p> +An all yellow with black streak in the centre same as the +"Mickey Finn" is another very good combination. This is an +excellent pickerel and bass fly. In fact, most any of these Feather +Streamers and Bucktail Streamers tied on larger hooks, and used +with or without a spinner, are excellent lures for both bass and +pickerel. +</p> + +<p> +Nymphs: I have explained elsewhere my liking these lures, and +can say little more except that I always carry the following color +combinations in various sizes. All tied according to styles +illustrated in the diagrams.

Project Gutenberg volunteers and employees expend considerable +effort to identify, do copyright research on, transcribe and proofread +public domain works in creating the Project Gutenberg-tm +collection. Despite these efforts, Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works, and the medium on which they may be stored, may contain +"Defects," such as, but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or +corrupt data, transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual +property infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a +computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be read by +your equipment. + +1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except for the "Right +of Replacement or Refund" described in paragraph 1.F.3, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation, the owner of the Project +Gutenberg-tm trademark, and any other party distributing a Project +Gutenberg-tm electronic work under this agreement, disclaim all +liability to you for damages, costs and expenses, including legal +fees. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO REMEDIES FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT +LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTY OR BREACH OF CONTRACT EXCEPT THOSE +PROVIDED IN PARAGRAPH F3. YOU AGREE THAT THE FOUNDATION, THE +TRADEMARK OWNER, AND ANY DISTRIBUTOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT BE +LIABLE TO YOU FOR ACTUAL, DIRECT, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR +INCIDENTAL DAMAGES EVEN IF YOU GIVE NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH +DAMAGE. + +1.F.3. LIMITED RIGHT OF REPLACEMENT OR REFUND - If you discover a +defect in this electronic work within 90 days of receiving it, you can +receive a refund of the money (if any) you paid for it by sending a +written explanation to the person you received the work from. If you +received the work on a physical medium, you must return the medium with +your written explanation. The person or entity that provided you with +the defective work may elect to provide a replacement copy in lieu of a +refund. If you received the work electronically, the person or entity +providing it to you may choose to give you a second opportunity to +receive the work electronically in lieu of a refund. If the second copy +is also defective, you may demand a refund in writing without further +opportunities to fix the problem. + +1.F.4. Except for the limited right of replacement or refund set forth +in paragraph 1.F.3, this work is provided to you 'AS-IS' WITH NO OTHER +WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO +WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE. + +1.F.5. Some states do not allow disclaimers of certain implied +warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain types of damages. +If any disclaimer or limitation set forth in this agreement violates the +law of the state applicable to this agreement, the agreement shall be +interpreted to make the maximum disclaimer or limitation permitted by +the applicable state law. The invalidity or unenforceability of any +provision of this agreement shall not void the remaining provisions. + +1.F.6.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +https://pglaf.org/fundraising. Contributions to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation are tax deductible to the full extent +permitted by U.S. federal laws and your state's laws. + +The Foundation's principal office is located at 4557 Melan Dr. S. +Fairbanks, AK, 99712., but its volunteers and employees are scattered +throughout numerous locations. Its business office is located at +809 North 1500 West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887, email +business@pglaf.org.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/old/30292-h/images/cover.jpg b/old/30292-h/images/cover.jpg Binary files differnew file mode

Only the making of flies of the very +highest quality and most durable construction will be attempted. +In describing the principals of construction with the following +illustrations, it will be impossible to describe in detail each +standard pattern; however, it must be remembered that the fundamentals +applying to each style of fly will be the principal bases of +construction of all flies of that style, and that the use of different +body materials, hackles, wings or size will simply change the pattern +and not the fundamental points of construction. + +Dressings for hundreds of standard patterns will be found fully +described elsewhere in this book. For clearness {viii} of understanding +please note that where a fly is described in this book as having grey +wings, or red body, etc., and no particular feather or material is +specified, it means that any feather or body material may be used. When +a particular feather, body, hackle, tail, etc., must be used it will be +so stated. + +Each year a steadily increasing number of anglers are learning to tie +their own flies. Not many years ago, there were few in America outside +of professional tiers who understood the art. Now on each angling trip, +at least one is sure to be met, who has discovered the great thrill of +taking fish on flies of his own tying. + +To those who are anticipating the making of their own flies for the +first time, there is the opportunity to exercise one's ingenuity in the +creation of new patterns. To prolong your fishing seasons throughout the +long winter evenings, in the confines of your own den, where, with a +supply of fur, feathers and tinsel, can be enjoyed a profitable, +artistic and pleasant hobby. And the thrill of seeing in each finished +imitation of Ephemeridae, Muscidae and Formicidae, a masterpiece to +bring the joy of living and dreams of spring to the angler's heart. + +Beginners are requested to reject any inclination to skip over the +first part of this book, nor to attempt the tying of the more delicate +and difficult dry flies before they have had sufficient preliminary +training. {ix} This book is so written that the easier flies to make are +the first encountered. Although you may not expect to use Bucktail +Streamers, the fundamental principles employed in their construction, +the knack of handling fur, feathers and tinsel, will be acquired, and a +sense of proportion will be realized. I sincerely encourage you to begin +at the beginning, and by careful and patient study the satisfactory +result will be the ability to make flies that are second to none. + +The illustrations in this book are all drawn to correct proportions +except the tying silk, which is purposely drawn large for clearness +of illustration. Follow these illustrations, and begin by making a +very careful study of Diagram 3, "Bucktails" (page 15). Here will +be learned how to overcome some of the difficulties encountered by +beginners. Many of the fundamentals learned in tying Bucktails are +used in tying all of the flies to follow. For instance, in putting +the wings or tail on a wet fly, the same method of holding the wing +between the thumb and finger and making the loose loop, are explained +as when putting the hair or tail on a Bucktail. Putting the wings on +a fly correctly seems to be the greatest difficulty encountered by +the beginner. Consequently, the necessity of carefully studying +Figs. 4, 5, 10, and 11 of Diagram 3 cannot be too greatly emphasized. +Before tying any other part of the fly, place a bare hook in the +vise, and practice tying on the tail, {x} and then the wings, until you +have mastered this knack, and have the wings and tail setting straight +on top of the hook, as in Figs. 4, 5, 10 and 11 of Diagram 3. First +using hair and then a section of feather. + +Other faults of the beginner where literal descriptions are followed +entirely or where illustrations are not drawn to correct proportions or +followed closely are as follows. The wings are usually too large, and +much too long for the size of the hook, and the tail is most always too +long, as are the hackles. The bodies seldom have a nicely tapered shape, +and most always start too far back on the hook shank. The ribbing is +seldom put on in even tight spirals. The hair on hair flies is always +too long, and too much is used. The head is too large, because the tying +silk is not wound tightly and smoothly. The eye of the hook on the +finished fly is filled with hair, tying silk, hackles and cement. + +I do not mean to criticize these common mistakes of the beginner. +Instead, I merely wish to call them to your mind, and assure you that +they are not necessary, and will not happen if you will diligently +follow instructions in this book. + + +{xi} + +[Illustration: Diagram 2. Page sized drawings of wet flies and feathers.] + + +{xii} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of tools.] + + +{1} + +TOOLS, HOOKS AND +MATERIALS + +Very few tools are required by the Fly-Tier. Those that are necessary +are inexpensive, and most of them can be homemade. However, as with any +other craft good tools are an asset. I advise the beginner to procure +the following: + +TOOLS + +Fly-Tiers' vise. There are many styles of fly-tying vises on the market. +The simplest is just a slot cut in a 3/8" piece of square steel with a +hacksaw, and a thumb screw to tighten the slot. This type of vise will +work all right, although rather clumsy and hard to tighten enough to +hold the hook truly. Another simple vise is just a small pin chuck, +soldered to one end of a 1/4" brass rod, bent at the desired angle, and +the other end of the rod soldered to a small C clamp. However, I prefer +a vise of the cam lever type. That is, a vise that has a cam lever for +opening and closing the jaws. These vises, of which there are +several makes, are {2} adjustable to various angles and hook sizes. They +will hold all sizes of hooks very firmly, and are easily and quickly +opened with a flip of the lever. + +Hackle Pliers. These can be purchased for about fifty cents and will +prove a worthwhile investment, as they are rather difficult to make +satisfactorily. + +Scissors. One pair with curved blades and sharp points for small flies +and one pair with small straight blades. A needle pushed into a stick, +for picking out hackles that are wound under, and for putting lacquer on +the finished head, completes the list of necessary tools. + +HOOKS + +Hooks used for fly-tying differ somewhat from those used for bait +fishing etc., inasmuch as they are usually hollow ground, and tapered +shank especially those used for dry flies. The tapered shank next to the +eye allows the head of the fly to be tied smaller, and also reduces the +weight of the hook, an advantage for dry flies. Of course flies may be +tied on any style or grade of hook, but considering the work involved in +making the fly, and realizing that with an old razor blade the fly can +be quickly removed from the hook should the first attempts prove +unsatisfactory, you will see the advantage in using good hooks. + + +{3} + +[Illustration: Page sized diagram showing drawings of hooks.] + + +{4} + +MATERIALS + +Materials used by the Fly-Tier cover an extremely large field. Although +only a few simple and easily obtained items are necessary for a start, +it is interesting to know that furs, feathers and body materials come +from all parts of the world. There's the jungle cock from India whose +neck feathers are extensively used on salmon flies and a very large +percentage of all fancy flies. The golden pheasant from China, the +bustard from Africa, the Mandarin wood duck from China, the capercailzie +from Ireland, the game cocks from Spain and the Orient, the teal, +mallard, grouse, ibis, swan, turkey, and hundreds of others. The polar +bear, Impala, North and South American deer, seal, black bear, skunk, +rabbit, squirrel, are a few of the hairs that are used. The beginner +need not worry about the great variety. Some hooks, silk floss and spun +fur or wool yarn and chenille for bodies, a few sizes of tinsel for +ribbing, bucktails of three or four colors, an assortment of duck and +turkey wing quills some mallard breast, an assortment of neck and saddle +hackles, a spool of tying silk, a piece of wax, a bottle of head +lacquer, and many of the popular patterns can be made. Numerous other +items can be added from time to time, and the novice Fly-Tier will soon +find himself in possession of a collection of fuzzy furs and feathers +that will delight the heart of any professional, and from which any +conceivable lure can be made to attract the denizens of the shady pools. + +{5} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of body materials.] + + +{6} + +BODY MATERIAL: Tinsel, Silk Floss, Fur, Chenille, Wool, Quill +and Cork are used for bodies. The most commonly used for Bucktail +Streamers is flat tinsel ribbed with oval tinsel or no ribbing at all. +About the easiest body to make is one of chenille ribbed with tinsel. +Silk floss is mostly used for wet and dry fly bodies. The domestic silk +floss, which is called rope, can be successfully used for the larger +flies, by untwisting and using a few of the smaller strands. An imported +floss of one single strand, with a very slight twist, is especially made +for fly-tying; this will work much better on the smaller hooks. Fur for +fur bodies, which formerly had to be plucked from the hide, dyed the +desired color, and spun on the waxed tying silk, can now be obtained in +all standard fly colors. It is called Spun Fur, and is very convenient +to use in this manner. + +QUILL BODIES: Quill makes an excellent and very lifelike body, +especially on dry flies. The quill from the eyed peacock tail feather is +mostly used. That taken from the eye of the feather when stripped of its +fibers has a two tone effect, and when wound upon the hook without +overlapping makes a very lifelike and delicate appearing body. + + +{7} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of feathers.] + + +{8} + +HERL BODIES: Both peacock and ostrich herl is used for bodies. +These make a fuzzy body. Tie in one or two strands by the tip end and +wind on edgewise. + +HACKLES: These are the most important part of the dry fly. Only those +from the neck of a mature cock are satisfactory. Hackles for the dry fly +must be stiff with very little or no web. With such hackles a dry fly +can be sparsely dressed as it should be and still maintain its natural +balance and floating qualities. On the other hand, a wet fly should +sink readily, and should be made with very soft webby hackles. These +absorb water quickly, and have better action in the water. Contrary to +the customary way to tie hackles on the wet fly, as explained in the +chapter "Wet Flies", I find it very convenient and economical to strip +the fibers from any size hackle, clip off the butt ends to the desired +length and tie them on the bottom of the hook, the same as buck tail is +tied on. As wet flies should have hackles only on the bottom or +underneath side, many hackles that are otherwise too large can be used +in this way. + +TAILS: A few fibers from a golden or silver pheasant neck tippet, whisks +from a hackle feather, a strip of wing or breast feather, a few hairs, +etc., are used for tails. Many of the standard patterns are tied without +tails; however, on all of my dry flies, I tie three or four stiff fibers +or hairs. They balance the fly and help it to float much better. + +{9} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of feathers.] + + +{10} + +CHEEKS OR SHOULDERS: As per Fig. 9, Diagram 1, these are used on a +great many of the fancy flies. These are straps of one or several +feathers of contrasting colors. Jungle cock feathers, golden pheasant +tippets, silver pheasant body feathers, as on the Grey Ghost streamer +fly, blue chatterer, and many other fancy feathers according to pattern +and fancy are used for this purpose. A pair of jungle cock tippets often +called eyes, added to a Bucktail Streamer will often take trout, when +the same pattern without the jungle cock will not. + +RIBBING: Tinsel, Wool, Silk, Horse Hair, Quill, etc., are used for +ribbing. The tinsel from your Xmas tree will do, but it is much better +to use tinsel made for the purpose, as it will not tarnish so +quickly and is much stronger. It is advisable before using tinsel to +place a drop of good, clear head lacquer between the thumb and finger +and draw the tinsel through it. This makes it tarnish-proof, and is +particularly advisable with the oval and round tinsel that is wound +over a silk core. Besides tarnish-proofing it, it will keep the tinsel +from coming apart. Tinsel bodies should be lacquered after they are +finished. + + +{11} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of feathers.] + + +WINGS: Several styles of wings are used, see Diagram 2, page xi, those +on Fig. 1, and are cut from a pair of matched wing quill feathers, like +Fig. 7. Those in Fig. 2 are buzz wings taken from a pair of breast +feathers {12} (mallard, wood duck, etc.) shown in Fig. 8. Fig. 3 shows +hackle tip wings, tips of two hackle feathers, see Fig. 9. Fan wings, +Fig. 4, are a matched pair of small breast feathers, see Fig. 10 (white +duck, mallard, teal, grouse, etc.). In fact there is hardly a bird that +flies that does not supply some of its plumage to the Fly-Tier. Flies +of the order Diptera (land flies), such as the Bee, Cowdung, Blue Bottle, +etc., should be tied with flat wings as in Fig. 5. A Bi-visible is shown +in Fig. 6. This is a fly without wings, hackle tied palmer (that is hackle +wound the full length of the hook, usually tied without a body, and the +dark patterns have a turn or two of white hackle in front). + +All of the flies on Diagram 2 are shown as dry flies; however, the same +feathers are used for wet flies, streamers, etc., the difference being +the style in which they are tied, which is explained elsewhere. + +WAX: Use a good grade of wax for fly-tying. The proper wax will work +much better than shoemaker's wax or beeswax. Wax for fly-tying should be +quite sticky so that when the waxed tying silk is let go of, it will not +unwind while tying the fly. + + +{13} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of feathers.] + + +TYING SILK: Ordinary sewing silk is too coarse for ordinary fly-tying +and it doesn't seem to have the strength. Size 00 is a good size for all +flies including bucktails and streamers. For dry flies and small wet +flies a gossamer silk size 000 and 0000 is the best to {14} use. +Although the strength of this fine silk is much less than the size 00, +it has the advantage that more turns can be used, and the heads can be +made much smaller. + +{15} + +BUCKTAIL STREAMERS + + +{16} + +[Illustration: Diagram 3. Page sized diagram showing drawings of bucktail +construction.] + + +Place a hook in the vise and start waxed tying silk (See Diagram 3, page +15) (A) 1/8" from eye of hook Fig. 1. Take five or six turns and cut off +end (B) Fig. 2. Wind tying silk (A) closely and smoothly down hook shank +as Fig 3. (A complete understanding of the next step will have a great +deal to do with the success of the beginner's greatest difficulty, that +is, putting on the wings; the procedure is the same for all flies, study +Fig. 4.) Hold tail material (C) between thumb and finger of the left +hand, slide the fingers down over the hook, so that the tail material +rests on top of the hook, with the hook held firmly between thumb and +finger as Fig. 4. Now loosen grip just enough to allow tying silk (A) to +pass up between thumb and tail material, form a loose loop over +material, and down, between finger and material on the other side. Now +tighten grip with thumb and finger and pull loop down tight; repeat once +more, see Fig. 5. (This knack of holding the material and hook firmly +together, until the loose loop is drawn down tightly keeps the tail, or +wings, on top of the {17} hook, and at the same time keeps them from +splitting or turning sidewise.) Now that the tail is in place, with two +turns of the tying silk (A) tie in ribbing (D) Fig. 6. Now take six or +eight close tight turns with the tying silk towards the eye of the hook, +with two more turns tie in the body material (E) Fig. 7. IF USING TINSEL +FOR BODY MATERIAL, BE SURE AND CUT THE END TO A TAPER BEFORE TYING IN as +(E) Fig. 7; this tends to make a smoother body and prevents a bunch +where the body material is tied in. Next wind tying silk (A) back to the +starting point, take a half hitch and let it hang. Now wind body +material (E) clockwise (all windings are clockwise) tightly and smoothly +back towards the barb, to the extreme rear end of the body, pull tight +and wind forward to within 1/8" of the eye, wind back and forth to form +smooth tapered body as Fig. 8 (tinsel bodies are not tapered). (If +using silk floss, untwist the floss and use only one half or one third +of the strands, do not let it twist, wind tight, and it will make a nice +smooth body.) Take two turns and a half hatch with the tying silk, and +cut off end of the material (F) Fig. 8. Take one tight turn with ribbing +(D) over butt of tail close to rear end of the body, also one turn +under the tail if tail is to be cocked. Wind ribbing spirally around the +body and tie off with two turns and a half hitch of tying silk as Fig. +9. + + +{18} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of bucktail streamers tied by the +author.] + + +{19} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of bucktails.] + + + +{20} + +Take about three dozen hairs of colored bucktail, cut off butt ends to +the length wanted for the finished fly, not more than one half again as +long as the hook, place these on top of the hook as Fig. 10 with butt +ends about 1/16" back of the eye (this is held the same as when putting +on the tail, Fig. 4). Pull down two or three loops, Fig. 11. Now take +about 175 hairs of other colored bucktail, place this on top of the +first colored bucktail the same as Fig. 10. Repeat the same operation +as Fig. 11. Before finishing the head put a drop of head lacquer on the +butt ends of the hairs to cement them in place, finish by making a +smooth tapered head with the tying silk, take three or four half +hitches, paint the head with two or three coats of lacquer and the job +is complete, unless you wish to add jungle cock cheeks, or other +combinations of feathers. This of course is done before the head is +completed. + + +{21} + +[Illustration: Diagram 4. Page sized diagram showing drawings of wet +flys.] + + +{22} + +WET FLIES + +Start the waxed tying silk (See Diagram 4, page 21) 1/8" from eye of +hook, Fig. 1. Wind tying silk (A) down shank of hook, and with last two +turns tie in tag material (B) Fig. 2. Tags (see diagram 1) usually +represent the egg sac on the female of the species. Chenille, wool, +gold, silver, silk, herl, or various other materials are used for tags. +(Ribbing, if used, is tied in just before the tag material.) Tie in tail +(C) Fig. 3 (see Fig. 4 Bucktail, Diagram 3, page 15, for directions, how +to hold the tail. Take from one to four turns with the Tag Material (B) +around the hook, take a couple of turns with tying silk (A) around the +loose end of (B) and cut off (B) as Fig. 4. Take about three or four +turns towards the eye of the hook with (A), with two more turns tie in +the body material (D) Fig. 4. Wind (A) back to the starting point, take +a half hitch and let hang. Wind body material (D) to where (A) was left +hanging. Wind (D) back and forth several times to form a tapered body, +fasten with two or three turns and a half hitch with (A) Fig. 5. Next +take hackle (E), and strip off soft web fibers on dotted line, Fig. E. +Hold hackle {23} (E) by the tip with thumb and finger of the left hand, +with the shiny side of the hackle to the right, place the butt +diagonally under the hook and take four or five tight turns and a half +hitch with (A) Fig. 6. Be sure that the hackle is tied on edgewise with +the shiny side to the front. Now grasp the tip of the hackle with the +hackle pliers and wind four or five turns clockwise around the hook. If +the hackle starts winding edgewise it will go on without any trouble, if +not better take it off and try again until you get the knack of tying +the butt in at just the right angle. Take three or four turns over the +hackle tip with (A) and clip off the tip close as Fig. 7. With the thumb +and finger of the left hand, reach from under the hook and pull all the +fibers down to the bottom, take three or four turns over them with (A) +towards the barb of the hook, to hold them in place, and to keep them +pointing well back, as Fig. 8. Next take a pair of matched (one right +and one left) turkey, goose, or other wing feathers, Fig. A, and cut a +section from each about 1/4" wide, place the two sections with tips even +and concave sides together as Fig. B. Cut off the butt ends to the right +length, that is so that the tips come even, or a little beyond the bend +of the hook. Place on top of hook as Fig. 9 and tie on the same as +previously explained in tying hair on Bucktails (Diagram 3, page 15, +Figs. 4 and 10). Finish off with a smooth tapered head, two or +three half hitches {24} and a couple of coats of good head lacquer, +Fig. 10. Many patterns are tied palmer, that is the hackle is wound the +whole length of the body. Many of the dry flies are tied this way, +especially the Bi-visibles. To tie a palmer hackle, prepare the hackle +by holding the tip of the hackle between the thumb and finger of the left +hand, and with the thumb and finger of the right hand, stroke the fibers +back so that they point towards the butt, instead of towards the tip, Fig. +C, Diagram 4. With the shiny side of the hackle up, strip off the fibers +from the bottom side as Fig. D. Now tie the hackle in by the tip as +Fig. 11. Make the body the same as before. Wind the hackle spirally around +the body and tie off the butt, Fig. 12. To make the hackle more full near +the head, one or more hackles are tied in at the same time as Figs. 6 +and 7, the palmer hackle is wound to within 1/8" of the eye and the butt +tied in and cut off the same as the tip was cut off Fig. 7. + + +{25} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of wet flies tied by the author.] + + +{26} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of feathers.] + + + +{27} + +DRY FLIES + +Start winding waxed tying silk (See Diagram 5, page 28) (A) about 1/8" +from the eye of the hook, take three or four turns towards the bend of +the hook and cut off end, Fig. 1, Diagram 5. Cut a section about 1/4" +wide from a right and one from a left wing feather, as Fig. A Diagram 4, +page 21 (duck wings are best for dry flies). Place convex sides together +(just the reverse of Fig. B, Diagram 4). Do not cut off the butt ends, +instead straddle the hook as Fig. 2, Diagram 5. Hold between the thumb +and finger of the left hand as already explained in Figs. 4 and 10, +Diagram 3, page 15. Tip the wings (B) forward so that they stand about +perpendicular to the shank, and pull down loop, Fig. 3, as explained in +Diagram 3, Fig. 4. Take one more turn with (A) around the wings (B) in +front as Fig. 4 and before loosening the grip with the left hand take +two turns around the hook close in back of the wings (B), Fig. 5. Next +pull the butt ends back tightly as Fig. 6, take two tight turns around +them with (A) and cut off on dotted line as Fig. 6. Cross (A) between +wings (B) to spread them, and wind tying silk (A) down shank of the hook +as Fig. 7. + + +{28} + +[Illustration: Diagram 5. Page sized diagram showing drawings of dry fly +construction.] + + +{29} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of Fan Wings, Dry Flies, and Nymphs +tied by the author.] + + +{30} + +From now on the body is made as previously explained, so for the sake of +variation we will tie a band in the centre, the same as a Royal +Coachman. Tie in tail (C) Fig. 8. Tie in two or three strands of peacock +herl (D) Fig. 9 with (A) and wind (A) four or five turns towards the eye +of the hook. Take three or four turns with herl (D). Tie in two strands +of silk floss (E) Fig. 10, take a few more turns with (A) over the loose +ends of (D) towards the eye of the hook. Wind silk floss (E) over the +herl about half way up the hook. Take a turn or two around silk floss +(E) with (A) and cut off end of (E) as Fig. 11. Carry (A) up to the +front of the wings. Finish body with herl (D) wound tight against the +back of the wings. (This helps to push the wings forward and to hold +them in place.) Tie off herl (D) with (A) Fig. 12. The next step of +putting on the hackle (F) is done the same as Fig. 6, Diagram 4, page +21. But here the hackle is much more important than on the wet fly. The +floating qualities of a dry fly depend entirely upon stiff neck hackle +of the proper size. (Use Hackle Chart.) Sometimes two hackles are used, +these are laid together, and both butts tied in at the same time. One +hackle of the proper size and stiffness is usually enough, so we will +use one tied in as Fig. 13 and explained in Fig. 6, Diagram 4, page +21. Clip the hackle pliers to the tip of hackle (F) and wind +about two turns edgewise in front of the wings, wind two turns close +{31} in back of the wings. Take two or three more turns in front of the +wings, all the while keeping the hackle edgewise, with the shiny side +towards the eye of the hook. Wind the hackle close so as not to fill up +the eye of the hook and to leave room for the head. Tie in the tip with +a couple of turns of (A) Fig. 14. The hackle should now be standing +straight out from the hook, with the most of it in front of the wings. +Shape a tapered head with (A). (Head should be about 1/16" long on a +size 12 hook.) Finish with two or three half hitches and a drop +of head lacquer, Fig. 15. + +Various feathers are used for wings of dry flies, such as breast +feathers from mallard, teal; partridge, grouse, black duck, wood duck. +Hackle tips, starling, duck, turkey, goose, pheasant, wing feathers, +etc. + +Two whole feathers of the proper size, with the natural curve are used +for fan wings. The tips of two feathers, or a section may be cut from +two matched feathers. All of these wings are tied on in the same manner +as previously explained. See Diagram 2 for flies tied with different +style wings. + +[Illustration: Drawing of hackle size chart at bottom of page.] + +{32} + +NYMPHS AND THEIR +CONSTRUCTION + +NYMPHS + +Nymphs are larvae of all aquatic insects. Together with minnows, +crawfish, etc., they represent about ninety per cent of the trout's +regular diet. Considering this fact, it is obvious that nymphs will take +trout throughout the entire season. It will greatly surprise the novice +to learn of the great amount of underwater insect life present in any +stream. Next time you go fishing, hold your landing net close to the +bottom, in a foot or so of fast water. Reach upstream and loosen the +stones and gravel. Raise your landing net, and notice the numerous +nymphs that have been washed from under the stones, and have attached +themselves to your net. Better still, make a screen about two feet +square, from regular 14 mesh window screening. Hold this in the water, +and have your fishing partner go upstream, and with a regular garden +rake, or some such tool, rake up the bottom, turning over the stones and +gravel. This way you can capture many nymphs. Put them in glass +bottles, take them home, and make copies of them. When next you {33} go +fishing open the first trout you catch, examine the contents of its +stomach, and determine which of the copies you have made is the proper +nymph or fly for the occasion. To fish with an imitation of the fly or +nymph upon which they are feeding, will result in a heavier creel. + +When nymph fishing it is important to use a long, finely tapered leader. +A 4x is about right. Fish in the same waters, and very much the same way +as with a dry fly except that the nymph is allowed to sink. Fish +upstream, or up and across the current. In the ripples. Around boulders. +At the edge of fast water. Let the nymph drift with the current. Follow +it with your rod tip, and be prepared to set the hook at the least +hesitation of the line. Trout will sometimes take a drifting nymph and +eject it, without being felt on the most delicate rod, so be ever on the +alert when nymph fishing. A nymph fished down stream, and retrieved with +slow, short jerks, will often work very well. When fished in this +manner, trout will strike quite hard, and usually hook themselves. + +There are times when trout are rolling on the surface and it seems +impossible to take them on anything. It is then that they are usually +feeding on nymphs, just under the surface. I remember one such time on +the Housatonic River in Connecticut last summer. Just at dark, I was +standing knee deep in very fast water. Trout {34} were breaking all +around me. I knew, they were feeding on nymphs, and tried in every way +to catch them. The water was so fast, it was impossible to keep the +nymph just the right depth below the surface. I tried every trick that +I knew, but could not get a strike. Finally reaching my hand in my +pocket, I discovered several large buckshot. Removing the nymph from the +tip of the leader, I attached five of these large shots, to the very tip +of the leader, with a piece of 3x gut tippet about four inches long. I +connected the nymph to the leader about sixteen inches from the tip. +Within the next few minutes I took several nice trout, within rod's +length of where I was standing. What actually happened, the lead was so +heavy that it immediately sank straight to the bottom, and my taut line +held the nymph suspended about two inches below the surface. The short +gut between the nymph and the leader allowed the nymph to quiver much as +the natural was doing. All the various common nymphs can be faithfully +copied, by learning to tie the various styles of those herein +illustrated. Simply alter the sizes, and color combinations, according +to those found in the waters where you fish. + +Remember nearly all the nymphs have flat bodies, and dark backs. The +bodies may be flattened by thoroughly lacquering them, and when nearly +dried squeezing them flat with an ordinary pair of pliers; or by {35} +cutting a piece of quill the shape of the body from a turkey or goose +wing. Bind this on top of the hook for the foundation of the body, and +build the body over this. When finished, lacquer the entire body. + +Most any body materials that are used for the making of other flies can +be used; however, wool is mostly used for nymphs. Silk floss wound over +a quill foundation and then lacquered, makes a very smooth, realistic +body. + + +{36} + +[Illustration: Diagram 6. Page sized diagram showing drawings of nymph +construction.] + + +THEIR CONSTRUCTION +(SEE DIAGRAM 6) + +Start tying silk (A) an eighth of an inch from the eye of the hook and +wind closely down shank, as previously done with bucktails, wet flies +etc. Next cut a section (B) from a grey goose wing feather about one +eighth inch wide, and tie on top of the hook as Fig. 1. This is to make +the tail and also the back of the nymph. Bend (B) back and take a turn +or two with (A) in front as Fig. 2. Tie in the ribbing (c) close to (B) +Fig. 3. Next tie in body material (D) close to (C) Fig. 4. Wool yarn +makes the best body material for this style nymph. Now finish the body +as for a wet fly, Fig. 5, then pull (B) tightly over the top, finish off +as Fig. 6. This makes a sort of hard shell over the back. Next turn the +hook upside down in the vise, and lay {37} three horse hairs across, just +in back of where the head is to be made, crisscross (A) between the hairs +to spread them and make them look like legs, and your nymph should look +like Fig. 7. Nymphs of this style as well as Figs. 8, 9, 10, 14 and 15 +look more natural if the bodies are flattened. Fig. 8 is tied nearly the +same as Fig. 7, the difference being that (C) and (D) are both wound +over (B) about two-thirds of the length of the body, then (B) is turned +back, the body finished as before, (B) brought forward loosely to form +the humpbacked wing case, and (B) being cut off as was done with Fig. 6, +and instead of the butt end of (B) being cut off as was done with Fig. +6 it is split by crisscrossing (A) through it to form small wings as +Fig. 8. Fig. 9 is made in the same way except that several strands of +peacock herl is used for the dark back, tail, and feelers. + +Fig. 10 is a very effective nymph, the body made entirely of natural +raffia (soaked in water before using), with black hair used for the tail +and feelers The body coated with lacquer as before mentioned and pressed +flat when dry; paint the back with dark brown or black lacquer. + +Fig. 11 is made by close wound palmer hackle cut off on dotted +lines. Fig. 12 is a fur body, made by spinning rabbit's fur or +other fur on waxed tying silk and ribbing with gold; the tougher +this nymph looks the more effective it seems to be. Fig. 13, the +Caddis {38} worm can be more naturally reproduced with a common rubber +band than any other way I know. Get a dirty, white, rubber band +about 1/8" wide, taper one end for about 1/2". Lay two horse hairs +lengthwise on top of the hook for the feelers, wind tying silk over them +down the hook, tie in the rubber band by the very tip of the taper, wind +the tying silk back to the starting point, and be sure that the tying +silk is wound smoothly. If not, any roughness will show through the +rubber band. Wind the rubber band tightly to about 1/4" back of the eye. +Wind back down and take one turn under the horsehair at the tail end, +wind up to the head and tie off with the tying silk. This now makes +three thicknesses of the rubber band. Form a large head with the tying +silk, fasten securely and you have a very realistic Caddis worm. Fig. 14 +is tied about the same as Fig. 7, with a considerable amount of speckled +mallard, and peacock herl used for both the front and back feelers as +well as the legs. + +Fig. 15. The Damsel Nymph has a body of dark grey wool with a back of +dark brown or black lacquer. Wings, small red-brown wood duck breast +feathers, feelers dark brown hackle, and a large black head. + +{39} + +THE HELGRAMITE +(SEE DIAGRAM 7) + +The Helgramite Nymph, larva of the Dobson Fly, is such an excellent bass +and trout food, that the making of this nymph deserves special mention. +As my personal way of making this particular nymph differs considerably +from those previously explained, I consider it advisable to go into +further details concerning the construction of this pattern. + +I personally like the winged style. That is, with small imitation wings +and horns, or feelers. This represents the nymph in its final underwater +stage, just before emerging from the water as the Dobson Fly. I find +black skunk tail the most satisfactory material for the body of this +nymph. Either light grey swan sides, or light grey pigeon breast +feathers for the wing and legs. + + +{40} + +[Illustration: Diagram 7. Page sized diagram showing drawings of +helgramite construction.] + + +First wind the waxed tying silk up the shank of the hook beginning +opposite the barb. Clip the fibers closely from a couple of hackle +feathers. These are to form the horns. Bind these hackle quills +to the top of the hook, so that the tip ends project about 1 1/2" +in front of the eye. Take a bunch of black skunk tail about the +size of a match and bind it to the top of the hook, with tip ends +towards the eye of the hook as in Diagram 7, Fig. 1. Next fold the hair +forward and bind down tightly as in Fig. 2. Again fold the hair back and +tie down as in {41} Fig. 3. Then again as in Fig. 4. Notice that each +time the hair is folded back upon itself and tied down, that it forms a +segment of the body, and that each segment increases in size, until your +nymph looks like Fig. 5. At this stage turn the nymph over and tie a piece +of light grey feather about 1/8" wide across the bottom, separate the +fibers with the tying silk to form the legs. Now cut a small light grey +pigeon feather with the centre quill, as dotted line in Fig. 6. Give this +a coat of clear lacquer: when dry, tie flat, on the back of the nymph to +form the first set of wings, as in Fig. 7. Cut another feather and treat +the same way, tie these slightly forward of the first set of wings, and +you have a Dobson Nymph that is very lifelike in appearance. + +{42} + +BASS FLIES +AND FEATHER STREAMERS + +It will appear obvious from a study of Diagram 8, page (43) that the +tying of bass flies and Feather Streamers differs so little from the +tying of wet flies and bucktails that a detailed description will be +unnecessary. + +Bass flies are little more than large trout lies, the +principal difference being the feathers that are used for the wings +although the same feathers can be used as for trout flies. It is +customary with commercial tiers to use two whole feathers for the wings, +or the tips of two wings feathers, etc. Place the concave sides together +and tie in the butt ends the same as for a wet fly. Bass flies to be +used as spinner flies, that is, flies to be used with a spinner in +front, should be tied on ring eyed hooks instead of hooks with turned +down or turned up eyes. + + +{43} + +[Illustration: Diagram 8. Page sized diagram showing drawings of bass +flies.] + + +{44} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of flies tied by the author.] + + +Certain patterns of these flies have for a long time been famous as +salmon flies in northern New England and Canada and the past few years +have seen them steadily growing in popularity with anglers of +Connecticut, especially for Rainbow Trout. The feathers {45} that are +used for wings are saddle hackles, and from four to eight feathers are +used, hackles of the same size are selected, the tip ends placed even, +and the concave sides of those used for the left side are placed next to +the concave sides of those used for the right side, in other words, both +the right and left side of the wing will be convex, or outside of the +feather. Any of the standard pattern flies can be tied as streamers. +Some of the patterns however, are very elaborate flies; the Supervisor, +for instance, has wings of light blue with shorter feathers of green on +each side, with peacock herl along each wing, polar bear hair, jungle +cock shoulders, a silver body, and a red tag. This fly was developed a +few years ago by Mr. Joseph Stickney, Supervisor of Wardens, State of +Maine, to imitate the smelt, a natural salmon food. The original Supervisor +did not have the jungle cock or the peacock heal. Mr. Stickney suggested +the addition of these feathers to me last year, and I believe that this +is now the approved dressing. + + +{46} + +[Illustration: Page sized photograph of feather streamers tied by +the author.] + + +{47} + +FAMOUS BUCKTAIL AND +FEATHER STREAMERS + +SUPERVISOR: WINGS, Blue saddle hackle with polar bear hair, and +peacock herl down each side.

These Bugs represents the large moth, +butterfly, etc., and are constructed of a large variety of materials. +Some have cork bodies. Some have Balsa Wood bodies. Others all hair +bodies. Bodies covered with chenille, and other materials. One of the +easiest to make and I believe one of the most successful styles, is +entirely constructed from the body hair of the deer, reindeer, or +caribou. All of these hairs are rather coarse and hollow consequently +are very buoyant, and when properly made into a copy of the living +insect, they have a soft, lifelike body that appears very natural when +taken by a fish. These soft bodied Bugs are not so apt to be ejected +before the Angler has time to set the hook, as are those with hard +bodies. + + +{50} + +[Illustration: Page sized diagram showing bass bugs tied by the author.] + + +Although the object of this book is to teach the Angler how to tie +his own flies a few words in regards to the writer's personal +experiences in using these Bugs might not be amiss at this time. +Floating Bugs are mostly tied on large size hooks and generally used for +{51} bass. However, I have had a great deal of luck and many pleasant +experiences with them tied as small as a #14 Model Perfect hook, and +used with a 4x Leader. The small sizes will take many large trout, and +are readily accepted by all pan fish. When fishing in still waiters with +the Floating Bugs, whether it be for bass, pickerel, trout or pan fish I +use a light leader, treated so that it will sink. I cast to a likely +looking spot, beside an old stump along lily pads, or to an opening in +the lily pads themselves. I let the Bug hit the water with quite a +splash, as a living moth of the same size would, and there I let +it lie, absolutely motionless, as though stunned by the blow. By all +means do not be impatient, let the Bug lie perfectly still for two or +three minutes, and then simply move the tip of your rod just enough to +cause the Bug to quiver on the surface. Again let it lie perfectly still +for a minute or two; usually about the second time the Bug is made to +quiver you can expect a strike, and when a big bass comes after one of +these Bugs, he comes full of action. When fishing fast water, I fish +them exactly as I would a dry fly, upstream or up and across the +current. My personal choice for color is the natural brownish grey body +hair from either the deer, reindeer, or caribou. Wings, tail and body +all the same natural color. I tie this pattern from size 2/0 Model +perfect hook down to size 14, and us {52} the larger sizes for bass +and pickerel, and the smaller sizes for trout and pan fish. I +remember one very pleasant experience that happened in northern +Maine three years ago. There is a small, deep, spring fed lake of +about ten acres in area, completely surrounded by wilderness; this +lake had been stocked with, Rainbow Trout and closed to all fishing +for five years. I was fortunate in being there about two months after +it had been opened to fishing and was invited to try my luck, after +first being advised that although some very nice catches were regularly +being taken on a Streamer Fly fished deep, also on live bait and worms +with a spinner, no one had even been able to take fish on the surface. +I arrived at this lake about one hour before dark, and it was one of +those evenings when the water was actually boiling with rising trout. +In fact never before or since have I seen so many fish breaking water +at the same time. I immediately made up my mind to take fish on the +surface. I began fishing with a small spider, and changed fly after fly +for the next half hour with the same results as had been experienced by +other dry fly fishermen. In desperation and with darkness fast approaching +I tied on a size 4 Grey Bug and cast about thirty feet from shore. The Bug +hit the water with quite a splash and didn't even as much as put down one +fish, and several continued to {53} rise from within a few inches to a few +feet from where the Bug landed. I waited a couple of minutes and gave the +Bug a little twitch, nothing happened, again I twitched and again nothing +happened. I began to believe I was stumped when again the Bug was moved +ever so slightly for the fifth time, and remember this was at least seven +minutes after it first hit the water. A fish struck. In a few minutes I +landed a 2 1/4 pound Rainbow. Before darkness had brought the day to a +close I had landed three more beautiful Rainbows averaging 2 pounds +each. I had never since had the opportunity to fish in this beautiful +little lake. Some day I hope to return, and again try, and I believe +succeed in taking these beautiful Rainbow Trout on the conventional +dry fly. However, this one little experience proved conclusively to +me the absolute necessity of patience in fishing Floating Bugs. + +FLOATING BUGS: +THEIR CONSTRUCTION +(SEE DIAGRAM 9) + +First let us begin by making the most simple; that is, one that has the +Body, Wings, and Tail, all of the same material and color. Follow the +illustrations carefully and even your first attempt will be a +masterpiece. + +{54} + +Although I use well waxed 00 tying silk, you will find that regular +sewing silk size A will work best on your first attempt. First wax your +thread thoroughly and take a few turns around the shank of the hook and +tie in a small bunch of hairs for the tail, as in Diagram 9, Fig. 1, +page (55). We will assume that we are using regular deer hair cut from +the hide. Next clip a small bunch of hairs, about the size of a match, +close to the hide. You will notice there is some fuzz mixed with the +hair at the base close to the skin, pick out the fuzz and place the +butts of the hairs under the hook as in Fig. 2, Take a couple of loose +turns with the tying silk, hold the tips of the hair with the thumb and +finger of the left hand, and pull the tying silk down tight. You will +notice that the hairs spin around the hook and the butt ends will stand +out pretty much at right angles to the hook, as in Fig. 3. Cut off the +tip end of the hairs on the dotted line, press the hairs back tightly, +apply a drop of water-proof lacquer to the base of the hairs and the +hook, and repeat the same process of tying on a small bunch of hair, +each time pressing it back tightly. Remember this is important, because +the hair must be as close together as possible to make a firm, smooth, +buoyant body. + + +{55} + +[Illustration: Diagram 9. Page sized diagram showing drawings of bass +bug construction.] + + +When you have built the body up until it looks something like +Fig. 4, remove it from the vise and with a sharp pair of scissors +trim and shape it until it looks {56} like Figs. 5 and 6. At this stage +you should have 3/16" of the shank of the hook left just behind the eye, +where you will tie on the wings. Cover this bare hook with the well waxed +tying silk, and lay a bunch of hair on top of the hook for wings as Fig. +7. Crisscross the tying silk around the wings and the hook until they +are securely tied together. Place several coats of lacquer over he +junction of the wings and hook, to more securely bind them in place. +Lacquer the entire wings if you wish and when they have partially dried, +press them flat, spread them, trim them as Fig. 8, and your Bug is +completed. + +Any combination of color may be used, different colored wings and tail, +different colored rings in the body. White body with red tail and wings +is a good pattern. Yellow body, black wings and tail another. Various +feather combinations can be used for wings and tall. Create your own +designs, and develop your patterns. + +CORK BODIED BASS BUGS +(SEE DIAGRAM 10) + +These high floaters are easy to make and may be tied on most any size +hook desired. Kinked shank hooks should be used to prevent the body +from turning on the {57} hook. Colored lacquer or enamel can be used to +decorate the bodies, and eyes can be either painted on, or regular small +glass eyes inserted and held in place with water-proof glue or lacquer. +Any of the fancy feathers that are used for regular bass flies can be +used for wings. Hair or feathers can be used for tails, etc. Let us +first make one of these cork bodied Bugs on a size 1/0 hook. Take a 1/2" +cork cylinder and with a razor blade shape it roughly as Diagram 10, +Figs. 1 and 2. Then with a piece of 00 sandpaper held in the right hand +and the cylinder in the left it is a very simple matter to give the body +a nice smooth, shapely finish. Next cut a small V out of the body as in +Fig. 3. This is easier to fit to the hook and easier to cement securely +than simply making a slit in the cork. Press the V slit over the hook as +in Fig. 4. Apply cement or lacquer liberally to the inside of the V +slot, and to the hook shank. Press the piece that was removed securely +back into place, bind tightly with string, as in Fig. 5, and let set +over night. Next day when the cement has thoroughly dried and the body +is permanently fastened to the hook, remove the string and with the +sandpaper touch up any rough places on the body, and give a coat of +lacquer or enamel of the desired color. + + +{58} + +[Illustration: Diagram 10. Page sized diagram showing drawings of cork +bodied bass bug construction.] + + +When the body enamel has dried, take a pair of feathers for wings (whole +feathers that have the quill in the centre, same as are used for regular +bass fly wings are best), and with the {59} tying silk bind these fast to +the top side of the shoulders as in Fig. 6. Tie on a tail close to the +body, paint on the eyes, paint any other color or designs you wish on +the body, and the Bug is completed. + +{60} + +[Illustration: Diagram 11. Page sized diagram showing drawings of angler's +knots.] + + +{61} + +ANGLER'S KNOTS + +Figs. 1, 2 and 3 in Diagram 11, page (60) show a very convenient way to +tie a dropper loop in the leader; roll the gut between thumb and finger +at (A) Fig. 1, next invert loop (B) through (C) Figs. 2 and 3. + +Figs. 4, 5, and 6 make the best knot for or a loop in the end of a +leader, gut snells etc. Pull loop (C) through loop (B) Figs. 5 and 6. + +Figs. 7, 8, and 9 are about the easiest and most secure knots for +making leaders, the ends are in the centre of the finished knot and +can be clipped close. + +Figs. 10, 11, and 12, the figure eight knot, is the best for tying flies +to the leader, it won't slip, and the pull is in line with the hook +shank. + +{62} + +MY FAVORITE FLIES + +Quite frequently I am asked which fly I like the best, or which +particular patterns I would choose should I carry only a few flies with +me on a trip. That is rather a difficult question to answer. The +season, the type of fishing and location must be taken into +consideration. + +There must be some reason for so many hundreds of patterns. I hardly +believe that any half dozen patterns can be used with constant success +throughout the season, even in one particular locality. There are times, +when fish are feeding, that they will take anything; again one may +change fly after fly without success, when finally a fly will be tried +that will take fish on every cast. Suppose that particular fly wasn't +included in the chosen few, the answer is obvious. + +However, I will endeavor to choose six patterns each of the various +styles, and to give my reasons for their choice, but here I assure you +there will always be many more patterns in my fly box for further trial, +after I have exhausted my favorite six. + +Beginning with dry flies, my first choice would be {63} a Quill Gordon, +on a size 16 hook. This fly closely represents the numerous duns that +are on or about the water, to some extent, during the entire season. I +have little faith in color in the dry fly, except light or dark shades. +I do believe that the size and shape have a great deal more to do with +the success of a dry fly than color. I have proven to my own +satisfaction that a Quill Gordon sparsely dressed as it should be, but +tied with a black hackle and yellow mallard wings, is just as successful +as the customary dressing. + +My second choice would be the Red Ant. Although this fly belongs to the +order Hymenoptera, it can be used when many of the Diptera order are on +the water, such as Cowdung, Blue bottle, Bee, etc. This family all have +flat wings and make an entirely different appearance than the +aforementioned Quill Gordon. I tie the Red Ant on a size 14 hook. I +build the body first of red silk floss, shape it like the body of an +ant, give it a couple of coats of clear lacquer and let it dry hard and +shiny. This body will reflect light, much as the natural insect. I then +tie on two hackle tips for wings. Have them about as long as the hook, +spread them so they are at about a 30 degree angle from the body +and very flat. I then use a brown saddle hackle with fibers about +3/4" long for legs. I put on only two or three turns of the hackle, +and then clip off all of the top and bottom hackles, leaving only +about six fibers sticking {64} straight out on each side. This fly will +float very close to the water, and because of its sparse dressing, +slightly heavy body because of the lacquer, it is not a good floater. It +also has the disadvantage of being hard to see. However, it is still my +second choice, and properly dressed, and fished with a very fine leader, +will take many nice fish. + +My third choice is the Fan Wing Royal Coachman. This fly was never +supposed to represent any particular family but I believe it is taken by +fish for the Lepidoptera, large-winged moths and butterflies. It seems +to be very successful when these are about in the evening. + +My fourth choice is the Furnace Spider. This fly I tie on a size 16 +short shank hook, by winding only about three turns of a furnace saddle +hackle, with fibers about three fourths of an inch long. Tied in this +manner, without any body or tail, the fly will alight on the water with +the hook down, and looked at from beneath, against the light, only the +little black spot will be noticeable. This I believe represents some of +the order Coleoptera (beetles) and also the small black gnat (Empidae). +I know if no other ways to tie the Black Gnat small enough to represent +the natural insect, and even on the very smallest hook, the artificial +is usually many times larger than the natural. The small black centre +of the furnace saddle hackle tied in this manner seems to represent +the size of the natural very {65} closely. This fly is a very good +floater and an excellent fly when trout are feeding on those small +insects. + +My fifth choice is the Grannon. This fly is of the order of Trihoptera, +and has different shaped wings than any of those previously mentioned, +the wings being quite full and roof shaped. It is on the water a good +part of the season, and can be used when other flies with this shape +wing are about, such as the alder fly, cinnamon fly, etc. + +My next and sixth choice of dry fly would be the Brown Palmer, made on a +size 12 long shank hook with a full body of peacock herl, and palmer +hackle, wound not too full. This I believe is taken by the trout for +many of the caterpillars. + +My personal choice of these six patterns should now appear quite +obvious, should it be necessary for me to limit myself to such a small +selection. I have selected one each of the six most prominent orders, +and should any one of the hundreds of families of these orders be in +prominence on the water, I would at least have the correct size or +color. + +My choice of the standard pattern wet flies, Feather Streamers, Bucktail +Streamers, and nymphs would be a little more difficult. I am a firm +believer that color plays a very important part in the dressing of wet +flies, as well as size and style. I offer my personal choice of these +styles because of the consistency with which they {66} have taken fish +for me during many years of fishing all parts of the country. + +I do not hesitate to say that I have taken more trout, of all kinds, on +a brown hackle with peacock herl body, than any of the other common wet +fly patterns. This is probably because I have used it more. I do believe +that in the north, and especially for brook trout, a fly with a little +red in it is more productive. Therefore, for northern fishing I would +select Royal Coachman, Parmachene Belle, and Montreal. Other favorite +flies that are good most anywhere in North America are Grizzly King, +Queen O'Waters; Cahill, and Grey Hackle. + +Feather Streamers and Hair Streamers are being more extensively used +each year. Many authorities are of firm conviction that these flies +unquestionably represent small minnows, upon which the fish are in the +habit of feeding. This may be true, but I have seen many rubber, metal +and composition minnows, that were exact replicas of the naturals, both +as to color and size, and they would not take fish as would the Feather +or Hair Streamers, fished in the same waters at the same time. + +Most of my experience with Feather Streamers and also Hair Streamers +has been for Landlocked Salmon and Rainbow Trout, in big waters. +So I will list these according to the way they have produced for +me. The {67} Black Ghost on a #4 long shank hook has been my most +successful Feather Streamer. Probably because its white streamers are +easily seen by the fish. It will most always raise fish, even if not +the proper fly to make them strike. The Grey Ghost is another, and +one of the most popular streamers in the North for Landlocked Salmon. +This fly, as well as the Supervisor, Spencer Bay Special and numerous +other flies of this style, were originally designed by their creators +to represent the smelt, a favorite food of the salmon. These flies +vary so in their color combinations that I wonder what the fish do +take them for. However, I do know that a Grey Ghost will work when +a Supervisor will not, and vice versa. One is grey and the other +is blue. When fishing in lakes with a Feather Streamer for trout I have +consistently had most luck with a creation of my own, Gregg's Demon. +This fly was never tied to represent anything, but I have taken many +nice fish on it, and have seen little fellows hardly as long as the fly +itself chase it, and try their best to bite it in two. There is just +something about it that has "fish appeal." + +A Brown Bucktail with a silver body on a #6 3x long shank hook rates +number one in Bucktail streamers. Another excellent fly that has been a +favorite for years, is a Yellow and Red Bucktail, with a silver body, +the red only a narrow streak through the centre. This fly has recently +been named "Mickey Finn." A red and {68} white, with silver or gold body +is a real good pattern where there are brook trout, and tied on a large +hook is very good for bass. + +I use one with all white bucktail and silver body, the same as I do a +Black Ghost, for locating fish. I find they will most always show their +presence, one way or another when a white fly is cast near them. + +An all yellow with black streak in the centre same as the "Mickey Finn" +is another very good combination. This is an excellent pickerel and bass +fly. In fact, most any of these Feather Streamers and Bucktail Streamers +tied on larger hooks, and used with or without a spinner, are excellent +lures for both bass and pickerel. + +Nymphs: I have explained elsewhere my liking these lures, and can say +little more except that I always carry the following color combinations +in various sizes.

In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/old/30292.zip b/old/30292.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..b0f0b18 --- /dev/null +++ b/old/30292.zip |
