are nearly upright, of a pea-hen's fea- 

 ther, with a fxnall dark dun hackle, 

 wrapped thrice around under them. The 

 wings may be made with the feather of 

 a brown hon, or for droppers, with a 

 dark dun hackle, without wings. 



The SAND FLY. 



Appears early in April. Too much can- 

 not be faid in praife of this excellent 

 fly, as from its firil appearance it may 

 be ufcd all hours of the "day, until the 

 middle of July. Its wings are made of 

 the feather of a landrail's wing, the body 

 of the brighteft part of hare's neck, 

 ribbed with orange color filk. For fmall 

 droppers, I prefer a ginger hackle, or 

 the wren's tail formed as an hackle, to 

 wings. 



The GRAVEL FLY. 



Appears in great numbers about the 

 latter end of April. Its continuance on 

 the water is feldom above fourteen days. 

 Though a fly that the trout are remark- 

 ably fond of, regular diverfion is rarely 



met
