Devil Buff. Originated in 1917 by O. C. Tuttle, Old Forge, N. Y. A series of odd-looking trout and bass flies of bucktail, made in various sizes and shapes

and decorated with colored " eyes " and other markings.

Drag on Fly. I first saw this fly in 1916. It was tied by Ben Winchell, a Chicago amateur. It is an imitation of the dragon fly or " darning needle " and is said to be especially killing in quarry fishing. Tied in various sizes and color combinations.

Emerson Hough and Wm. Wood Bucktail Trout Flies. Originated about 1910 by Emerson Hough and his woodsman friend, Wm. Wood. Made entirely of bucktail tied very irregularly or untrimmed.
