ROD & CREEL 43 



Teal and Red. To be tied on No. 6 ,7 and 8. This fly, 

 which is locally called the "abbey," is one of the best all-round 

 flies, no matter what water you are fishing. 



Teal and Silver and Teal and Green. To be tied on No. 

 6, 7 and 8. Very good flies for fishing at the estuaries of 

 streams such as Campbell River, Fender Harbour and in any 

 stream at all coloured. 



Professor. To be tied on No. 6, 7 and 8. This fly is almost 

 similar to the Teal and Yellow. It it not often a very killing 

 fly, though there are liable to be times when it will come in use- 

 ful. 



Montreal. To be tied on 8 and 9. This is another very 

 popular fly and undoubtedly a good one, particularly for lake 

 flshing. 



Grouse and Claret. To be tied on No. 8 and 9. This fly 

 is very similar to the Montreal, and can be used with success 

 anywhere at any time. I prefer it to the Montreal. Especially 

 good in lakes. 



Cowichan Coachman. No. 8, 9 and 10. Particularly good 

 on Vancouver Island. 



Royal Coachman. To be tied on No. 8, 9 and 10. A good 

 all round fly at any time, but particularly in coast streams. 



Cock-y-bonddu. To be tied on No. 10 and 12. Very similar 

 in apearance to the Brown Hackle, but should have a much 

 larger body. It is best in the early part of the season when 

 it represents the "nymphs." 



Brown and Red Hackles. The hackles should be tied on a 

 number of different-sized hooks, from as small as No. 12 for 

 early fishing in such streams as the Salmon and Sumas, to as 

 big as No. 6 for summer fishing when at that size they represent 

 the big woolly caterpillars. 



Black Zulu. To be tied on No. 8, 10 and 12. This fly is 

 nothing but a Black Hackle with a scarlet 'tip." It is mostly 

 used in the big lakes in May and June. It is often very killing 

 all through the interior. 



March Brown. Of all the flies that are used in this part of 

 the world the March Browns should take the senior place. They 

 are one of the earliest flies to hatch out, but they can be used 

 with success practically the whole fishing season. 



There are three kinds of these flies tied, all of which you 

 should have; they are the male, the dark coloured one, the 

 female of light colour, and the spider or spent fly. There is 

 also the Olive March Brown, which is a variation of the male fly. 

 This pattern is the best late in the year. They should be tied 

 on No. 8, 9 and 10. 



Black Gnat. To be tied on No. 14. This is liable to be of 

 use any time from May to the middle of August. On some of
