Magnus,
On reflection I suppose it means any fly shown or mentioned because there is no reference to a picture .... a fourth Yellow Dancer prehaps? The very thought of it makes my blood run cold!!

Billy,
Thanks for the crit'. Having consulted my (rather old) dictionary I am now aware that the word "depicted" encompasses not only images, sculptures and drawings but also text references to the given subject.
Every day is a school day, and all the better for being so.

Ok Nick - are we clear it means any fly in the mag - I don't care which fly. I'd suggest a fourth Yellow Dance will just cause me to snort hot coffee onto your entry - all of them! 
You know the drill Nick but for anyone reading who hasn't been here before - choose a fly which which lets you demonstrate your skills. |

A Yellow Dancer ?
Not having received the magazine as yet and presuming that this is some form of lure!!!
Could some one enlighten me on what a Yellow Dancer is.
Thanks Pete |
