Original material

As written in the book:

Tag, silver tinsel and golden floss; tail, sprigs of red, orange, and blue parrot; but, black ostrich; body, one-third yellow, two-thirds light silvery blue; hackle, jay (only over the blue); wing, a (round spot) gallina feather, over this a slice of orange red macaw top-ping (cock of the rock or tippet will do nearly as well). Then a mixed wing, gold pheasant tail, brown and grey turkey, and a few fibres of unstriped wood-duck. This is perhaps the best fly that can be put on Tay, Turamel, Garry, or Orchy. Hook from 2 to 1 inches
