 of the starling, placed erect. Hook, No. 2. or 3.

 white cock's hackle. Body, very light blue, 

 nearly white, fur from a rabbit's skin, ribbed

 May." Used only for late evening fishing in the 

 height of summer. 



22. The Welshman's Button, or Hazel Fly. 

 This is a small beetle often blown upon the 

 water, and the combination of materials which 

 we recommend for its imitation produces a very 

 harmonious whole, and renders the fly a favourite 

 on many waters in a blowing showery day in 

 summer. Body, a black ostrich herl and a copper- 

 colour peacock's herl wound together, thickly. 

 Legs, a black hen's hackle. Wings, from the 

 red feather of a partridge's tail, short, and placed 

 fiat upon the back. Hook, No. 3. or 4.
