478 APPENDIX. NO. II. 



Taken chiefly in a morning before the Green-drake 

 comes upon the water. 



HUZZARD. Dub with pale lemon-coloured mohair, 

 or ostrich-feather dyed yellow ; warp with yellow ; gold 

 twist and yellow hackle, over all. Wing, of a very 

 pale mallard's feather dyed of a lemon-colour; the 

 wings large, and longer than the body, lying flat on 

 the back. 



Taken in ,a blustering day, before the May-fy 

 comes in. 



A fly little known, but the most beautiful of the 

 insect species that frequent the water. It is larger 

 than the Green-drake ; of a beautiful lemon-colour ; 

 both body and wings, which are four in number, 

 and lie close to its back. It is to be met with in 

 but few rivers, and is therefore esteemed a great 

 curiosity: in those rivers that produce them, they 

 appear, in great numbers, about the latter end of 

 April: at which time, and afterwards, the Trouts 

 rise at them very eagerly ; doubtless, this is a true 

 water-fly : it is supposed to be produced from a very 

 large cadis. 



DEATH-DRAKE* The body, one herl of black 

 ostrich and two of peacock ; silver-twist ; black hackle. 

 Wing, of the dark feather of a mallard, of a copper- 

 colour. 



Taken chiefly in an evening when the May-fly is 

 almost gone. 



YELLOW MILLER, or OWL-FLY. The body of a 

 yellow martern's fur, or ostrich herl dyed buff-colour. 

 Wing, of the ruddy feather of a young peacock's wing, 

 or pale brown chicken. 



Taken from sun-set till ten at night, and from two 

 till four in the morning.
