The OAK F L Y. 

 Appears early in June, and continues 

 about five weeks. It is a good fly, and 

 may be ufed with fucceis all hours of 

 the day. Being unquestionably the mod 

 difficult fly to imitate well, it provides 

 you a wide field to difplay your inge- 

 nuity. 



The body is mutch paler at the head 

 than the tail, and may be made with 

 the fmall hackle from a bittern's head, 

 the wings, of the feather of a wood- 

 cock's back. When a bittern's hackle 

 cannot be procured, great care is re- 

 quired to graduate the colors juftly; 

 it being at the head, pale yellow, un- 

 der the wings, light brown, the middle 

 of the body, orange, from thence it 

 gradually becomes darker towards the 

 tail, which is quite black. For legs,, 

 ufe a ginger hackle. 



The GREEN GNAT. 



Appears early in June, and is a good 

 fly in bright mornings, on clear ftreams^
