GRAYLING FLIES 253 



In Derbyshire, a pattern of fly termed a 

 'bumble' is much used for grayling. It answers 

 excellently well on those rivers, but I have never 

 found it of much service elsewhere. There are 

 various kinds of bumbles ; I append the dressings 

 of two. 



For ordinary use for grayling a selection can be 

 made from the list which I have given for trout. 

 They like the addition of a little tinsel, and this 

 can be added, if desired, to those which are not 

 dressed with it, excepting Nos. i, 4, 8, 9.
