Jflics. 



To attempt giving directions for making the 

 numerous artificial flies used by the angler, 

 would far extend these pages beyond their pro- 

 posed limits : but as most, if not all, of the flies 

 are well known by the names assigned to them 

 by practical fly-fishers ; and can be procured at 

 the tackle-shops by those names, a list of the 

 flies used in each month will probably answer 

 the full purpose of most of our readers.
