work, ' Homes without Hands.' There are 

 several varieties of this fly first cousins to it 

 but in Hampshire they are all termed ' sedges,' 

 being distinguished from each other by their 

 dressings, colour, etc. 



The largest of these is the ' big cinnamon.' It 

 is somewhat of a 'poacher,' and I believe there 

 are rivers on which its use is forbidden. It is 

 generally used when quite dusk. It is thus 

 dressed : 



Wings : Red feather from the landrail. 

 Body : Foxy-coloured hare's fur or wool. 



Hackle : Of same colour. 



Hook 3, 4, or 5. 



SAND FLY. 



This is another of the same tribe, but consider- 

 ably smaller than the cinnamon. 



Wings : From the red feathers of the landrail. 

 Body : Copper-coloured fur or wool. 

 Legs : Hackle of same colour as the body, rather 

 lighter perhaps. 



SILVER SEDGE (LARGE AND SMALL). 

 This fly is generally made in two sizes, viz., 

 the large and the small. It takes its name from 

 the silver tinsel with which it is ribbed. The 

 smaller pattern is excellent for both trout and 

 grayling during the day as well as the evening,
