FLY FISHING FOR TROUT AND GRAYLING. 293 



7. The- Olive Dun. I have used this fly less than its 

 excellence deserves ; but I know that it is A i in the chalk 

 streams in any but very cold weather, and believe that there 

 are few English waters in which it will not take. 



8. The Alder Fly. This fly kills well after the leaf is out, 

 especially where the alder grows freely. The body is always 

 of peacock's herl the legs should be of a dark dun hackle. 

 When it is tied on a large hook it wants a dark mottled wing, 

 for which I prefer a brown drake or night -jar feather.

9. The 'Dark' Coachman. As far as I know this is now 

 a hardly recognised fly ; but it is very useful, especially in 

 western counties, and where trout and grayling are found 

 together. It is simply the ordinary coachman much used on 

 summer evenings with a starling's feather substituted for the 

 white wing commonly in use. It is deadly in brooks through- 

 out the year.
