As written in the book:
Tag and tail as before. Body, olive yellow changing into dirty orange, and that again into a purple claret at the shoulder; silver tinsel; black hackle from tail to head; peacock wing.
Note, before: Tag, two turns of silver tinsel; tail, one topping and some sprigs of tippet; body, one turn of bright orange brown, continued with yellow half-way up, and the remaining half with medium (inclining to light) blue, pig's wool, rough and well picked out; broadish silver tinsel; black hackle, pretty thick, but only laid on at the shoulder; wing, bright mottled peacock wing, with a shortish jungle-cock on either side, rather better than half the length of the wing.
