Another of the Jays, and also a popular favourite, is the Dirty Orange. 

 Salmon fishers, and novices more especially, are often so eager to try every 

 imaginable novelty that makes its appearance in the way of flies that they 

 are unconsciously apt to neglect the more quietly dressed but well- 

 established patterns. So far as appearance goes, there are doubtless many 

 patterns more taking, but I have included this and the two preceding flies 

 in my standard list advisedly, believing that in the long run they will be 

 found to justify the selection.
