340 ROD AND RIVER 



(The wings may be varied with strips of blue, 

 but the yellow colouring of the wings must pre- 

 dominate.) 



The above is a very gaudy, brilliant fly, either 

 in or out of the water. Whatever its appearance 

 may be, its virtues are many. 



20. THE GREENWELL. 



Another fly christened after a Durham man, 

 viz., Canon Greenwell of that city, who invented 

 it many years ago. He also invented a well- 

 known North-country trout-fly called ' Greenwell's 

 Glory.' The Greenwell bears a high repute on the 

 Tweed during the autumn, but it is also a good fly 

 on all rivers during the earlier part of the season.
