made as above described, and the legs of a grizzle 

 cock's hackle 5 hook No. 6. 



GREY-DRAKE. 



Make the body from a white ostrich's feather : 

 the end of the body, towards the tail, of peacock's 

 herl} warping of ash-colour, with silver twist, and 

 black hackle ; wings of a dark-grey feather of a 

 mallard. 



STONE-FLY. 



To form the body of this fly, take bear's dun, and 

 a little brown and yellow camlet well mixed, but so 

 placed that the fly may be more yellow on the belly, 

 towards the tail underneath, than in any other part j 

 place two or three hairs of a black cat or dog, beard 

 or whiskers, or the fibres of a dark hackle, or the 

 bristles that grow under the chin of horses on the 

 top of your hook, in the arming, so as to be turned 

 up when you warp on your dubbing, and to stand 

 almost upright, branching one from the other j rib 

 with yellow silk 5 make the wings large and long, of 

 the dark-grey feather of a mallard. 



As the formation of these artificial may-flies will 

 be rendered not only easier, but more perfect, by an 

 intimate acquaintance with the natural ones, I shall 

 here give such a description of them as will, at least, 

 lead the young Angler to a careful observation of 

 them, when on his fishing excursions.
