122 FLIES FOR SEPTEMBER. 



The Sheffield anglers use a fly they call Par- 

 tridge Eump, which may be noticed here as 

 proper for this part of the season. 



Hook No. 4, long; body, yellow silk (not 

 floss) ; feather, partridge rump. The head is 

 formed with copper-coloured peacock's herl. A 

 good killer in Derbyshire waters. It is the 

 yellow-bodied Harry-long-legs. 



No. 41. THE BLUE BOTTLE. 



This and the House Fly become blind and 

 weak in this month, and are therefore frequently 

 driven on to the water on windy days, when 

 very good sport may be expected with them. 

 The Blue Bottle is perhaps to be preferred. It 

 may be used until cold weather sets in, especially 

 after a frosty night. 



IMITATION. 



Body. Bright blue floss silk tied with light 

 brown silk thread, showing the brown at the 

 head. 



Wings. Feather of the starling's wing. 



Legs. Black hackle from a cock wrapped 

 down the principal part of the body. 

 Hook No. 3, short.
