Original material
As written in the book:
The yellow is simply the same feather as the grey, only dyed of a bright canary yellow; indeed, I believe, in the evening, the 'yalley aigle * is the favourite, and is the more effective fly of the two. The tail, body, &c., are precisely similar to those of the gled wing; a quantity of the down or fluffy part of the golden eagle's feather - the part on and above the thigh is, I fancy, the best - is then wound on like a hackle, till the fly looks like the but end of a largish eagle's feather itself; on the shoulder is of course the invariable teal hackle; wings, two broadish strips of silver-grey turkey, the large mottled or broad striped and banded feather being selected.
