FLIES FOE MAECH. 73 



IMITATION. 



Body. Fur of the hare's face ribbed over 

 with ohve silk and tied with brown. 



Tail. Two strands of a partridge feather. 



Wings. Quill feather from the middle of the 

 hen pheasant's wing, which may be found of the 

 exact shade. 



Legs. A brown mottled feather from the 

 back of a partridge. Hook, No. 2, 3, or 4, long. 



Eemaeks. The female of this excellent fly 

 must by no means be neglected; and observe 

 that females are generally a few days later in 

 their appearance on the water than the males. 



Body. Pale olive green wool, ribbed with 

 fine gold twist. 



Legs. A honey dun hackle, that is less 

 bright than a golden dun. 



Wings. Upright, the same as for the male ; 

 but the hackle will impart a lighter shade. 



This is a great killer on the Dove. In Wales, 

 they make it as a hackle with a brown mottled 

 feather of a partridge, and rib with pale green 

 silk. 



It is equally celebrated in Scotland, as a 

 first-rate killer : and certainly may be used with 

 success, again in July,
