LADY COWS. 



They are nearly the fhape of one half 

 of a fplit pea. Though flies that the 

 trout are ver,y fond of, they have been 

 ftrangely overlooked by anglers. 



1. The BROWN LADY FLY, is made 

 of the dark part of otter's fur, mixed 

 with the brov/n fur of a hare's ear, and 



a grizzle hackle over it, in forming it 

 c; ierve the fhape of the natural one. 



2. The BLACK LADY FLY, is a beau- 

 tiful infecl, very fmall, and of courfe 

 pnly to be ufed when the water is lew 

 and fine. The body, which -is jet black, 

 ,is made with oflrich's oil, with a fmali 

 bright red hackle over it. 



The following procefs, if carefully ma- 

 naged, will flain hackles a biilliant. and 

 excellent color for this fly, and which 

 will be found from their fuperior bright- 

 nefs far preferable to any natural color : 

 Melt a fmall quantity of grained tin in 

 a tobacco pipe, whea fluxed pour it into 



cold.
