CHAPTER IV. 



OF A SELECTION OF INSECTS, AND THEIR IMITATIONS, 

 USED IN FLY FISHING. 



Flies, &c. used in March. Flies, &c. for April. For May. For June. 

 For July. For August. For September. Palmers for the Season. 



IT would much exceed the proper limits and pur- 

 pose of a Fishing Book to enter upon the details 

 by which even the Genera and Orders, to which 

 every fly here spoken of belongs, are known to the 

 Entomologist. Reference can easily be made, by 

 means of the names piaced on the pages opposite 

 to the plates, to sources of abundant information 

 on these points ; but the names of some species 

 and varieties of Ephemera mentioned, would in 

 vain be sought for. 



All the vulgar names known to me of each in- 



o 



sect are given for the purpose of assisting fisher- 

 men of various counties to recognize it. And the 

 order in which they are placed, is that of the 

 months in which they are used, as forming, per- 

 haps, the most convenient arrangement for his pur- 

 poses.
