TROUT-FISHING. 47 



JUNE. 



Same as last month, and : 



May-fly. Tail: three rabhit's whiskers, two turns 

 of peacock's harl. Body : very pale yellow (almost 

 white) floss silk, ribbed with brown silk. Legs .- spec- 

 kled feather from partridge's back. Wings : gray 

 mallard very slightly stained olive,* only sufficiently 

 to kill the white. Head : peacock's harl. 



Make these flies of various sizes, some on very 

 long-shanked hooks ; and if you reverse the hooks of 

 some, it will give you greater length of body, and the 

 tail will set up well, and you will hook your fish quite 

 as well as if the fly had been tied on in the usual way. 



Gray Drake.

Same as last month, omitting May-fly and gray 

 drake. 



Yellow Fly. Tail : two strands of white cock's 

 hackle. Body : light yellow floss silk. Legs : two 

 turns of "white hackle. Wings : small feather from 

 underneath wing of teal. (Small fly).
