THE COMPLETE ANGLER. 97 



seen ; which is made of a bright yellow camlet, and the wings 

 of a white grey feather dyed yellow. 



16. The last fly for this month, — and which continues all June, 

 though it comes in in the middle of Ma)^ — 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 it is 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 color ; 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, whipped about 

 with a red capon's feather. 



4. As also a gold-twist hackle, with a purple body, whipped 

 about with a red capon's feather. 



5. To these, we have this month a flesh-flv : the dubbinsr of 

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



6. Also another little flesh-fly ; the body made of the whirl of 

 a peacock'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 mixed, with a light grey wing. 



9. We have likewise a brown gnat, with a very slender body 

 of brown and violet camlet well mixed, and a light grey wing. 



10. And another little black gnat ; the dubbing of black mo- 

 hair, and a white grey wing.
