"This capital fly on the Spey was christened by Mr. Little Gilmore. Like other local patterns, the body is short and begins a full 1/8 of an inch in front of the point of the hook. The description given is from a pattern forwarded by Mr. C. M. Burn's Fisherman at Pitcroy; and proved to be correct by one being sent to me by Dallas himself." |
