CHAP, viii.] THE SECOND DAY. 261 



of a bright yellow camlet, and the wings of a white-grey feather dyed 

 yellow. 



1 6. The last fly for this month, and which continues all June, though it 

 conies in the middle of May, is the fly called the CAMLET-FLY, in shape 

 like a moth, with fine diapered or water wings, and with which, as I told 

 you before, I sometimes used to dibble ; and Grayling will rise mightily at 

 it. But the artificial fly, which is only in use amongst our anglers, is made 

 of a dark brown shining camlet ribbed over with a very small light green 

 silk : the wings of the double-grey feather of a mallard ; and 'tis a killing 

 fly for small fish. And so much for May. 



JUNE. 



From the first to the four-and-twentieth, the Green-drake and Stone-fly 

 are taken, as I told you before. 



1. From the twelfth to the four-and-twentieth, late at night, is taken a 

 fly called the OwL-FLY : the dubbing of a white weasel's tail ; and a 

 white-grey wing. 



2. We have then another dun, called the BARM-FLY, from its yeasty 

 colour. The dubbing of the fur of a yellow-dun cat, and a grey wing of a 

 mallard's feather. 



3. We have also a HACKLE with a purple body, whipt about with a 

 red capon's feather. 



4. As also a GOLD-TWIST HACKLE with a purple body, whipt about 

 with a red capon's feather. 



5. To these we have, this month, a FLESH-FLY. The dubbing of a 

 black spaniel's fur and blue wool mixt, and a grey wing. 



6. Also another little FLESH-FLY, the body made of the whirl of a pea- 

 cock's feather, and the wings of the grey feather of a drake. 



7. We have, then, the PEACOCK-FLY, the body and wing, both made of 

 the feather of that bird. 



8. There is also the flying-ant, or ANT-FLY, the dubbing of brown and 

 red camlet mixt, with a light grey wing. 



9. We have likewise a BROWN GNAT, with a very slender body of brown 

 and violet camlet well mixt, and a light grey wing. 



10. And another little BLACK GNAT, the dubbing of black mohair, and 

 a white-grey wing. 



11. As also a GREEN GRASSHOPPER, the dubbing of green and yellow 

 wool mixt, ribbed over with green silk, and a red capon's feather over 

 all. 



12. And, lastly, a little DUN GRASSHOPPER, the body slender, made of 

 a dun camlet and a dun hackle at the top. 



JULY. 



First, all the small flies that were taken in June are also taken in this 

 month. 



1. We have then the ORANGE FLY, the dubbing of orange wool, and 

 the wing of a black feather. 



2. Also a little WHITE DUN, the body made of white mohair, and the 

 wings, blue, of a heron's feather. 



3. We have likewise this month a WASP-FLY, made either of a dark 

 brov/n dubbing, or else the fur of a black cat's tail, ribbed about with, 

 yellow silk, and the wing of the grey feather of a mallard.
