Nos. i, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 15 are, of course, only 

 indispensable on those rivers where they have 

 their several seasons. The other flies are to be 

 found more or less on all rivers. The angler 

 cannot well do with a less number than those 

 which I have marked *. Those marked * * are 

 specially necessary ; indeed, all which I have enu- 

 merated may well find a place in his stock-book. 



I have given several different dressings of each 

 fly. Those given with the yellow dun are 

 numerous, the dressings in many instances being 

 variously styled. 



All the dressings named are the best of those 

 quoted by the first authorities, and I have been 

 careful to exclude any which I am not well 

 assured by experience are unrivalled. The 

 reader can therefore make his selection without 

 fear of going wrong, since all are good and re- 

 liable.
