 is dressed as follows : pale primrose coloured silk waxed 

 with white wax; tail three strands from a red cock's 

 hackle ; body made with a strand of white purse silk 

 well twisted and wraped close together ; wings, upright, 

 from a starling wing feather ; for legs, a ginger hackle.

 evenings till after dark.

 from the wren's tail wound on answers for wings and 

 legs ; hook No. i or o. 



THE LITTLE ORANGE FLY. 



This fiy is a great favourite of mine, and numbers
