Excerpt from The Modern Angler, Vol. 1 of 2: Comprising Angling in All Its Branches in Two Parts
The system I have laid down in the course of this work for making the different flies, will supersede any thing of the sort that I have seen in any previous publication. There is one particular point I wish to draw attention to,-viz., the method I take to strip' the feather with which I make the Winged fly, for by that means the wings will be parted when the fly is made, without the trouble of whipping the silk across two or three times, which I have seen recommended, and will be a much neater fly, and swim a great deal lighter.
