19. And, lastly, a little DUN GRASSHOPPER. The

JULY. 



First 5 all the small flies that were taken in Junc^ are 

 also taken in this month. 



1. We have then the ORANGE FLY (ri). The dub- 

 bing, of orange wool ; and the wing, of a black fea- 

 ther. 



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 brown 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. 



4. Another fly taken this month is a BLACK 

 HACKLE. The body made of the whirl of a peacock's 

 feather ; and a black hackle-feather, on the top. 



5. We have also another. Made of a peacock's 

 whirl ; without wings. 



6. Another fly also is taken this month, called the 

 SHELL-FLY. The dubbing, of yellow-green Jersey 

 wool, and a little white hog's hair mixed ; whicli i 

 call the palm-fly, and do believe it is taken for a 

 palm, that drops off the willows into the water. For 

 this .fly, I have seenTrouts take little pieces of moss, 

 as they have swam down the river ; by which I con- 

 clude that the best way to hit the right colour, is to 

 compare your dubbing with the moss, and mix the 

 colours as near as you can. 



7. There is also taken, this month, a BLACK BLUE 



VARIATIONS. 



() ORANGE-FLY. The body of raw orange silk, with a red or 

 black hackle ; gold twist may be added, warp with orange.
