MARCH. 



The same description of flies, but dressed of 

 a smaller size, that were recommended for 

 last month, will be taken in this. 



Another Blue Dan : A small quantity of 

 water-rat's fur, twisted round straw-coloured 

 silk for body; a blue-dun cock's hackle for 

 legs. Wrings, of the light fibres from the 

 feather of a fieldfare's wing. This fly kills 

 well on cold windy mornings. 



Dark-claret Fly : Body, deep-claret-co- 

 loured silk ; legs, a cock's dark-red hackle ; 

 wings, from the feather out of the wing of the 

 land-rail. , 



* The furnace hackle is a dark red, having a black streak 

 running from the root of the stem, on each side of it, up 

 the middle of the feather. The extremities of the fibres on 

 each side of the feather are likewise black. The more 

 purely dark the red part of the feather is the better it 

 should be red through and through.
