«8 THE COMPLETE ANGLER. 



11. As also a green grasshopper ; the dubbing of 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 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 ; which 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 seen trouts take little pieces of moss, as they have swam 

 down the river ; by which I conclude, that the best way to hit 

 the right color is, to compare your dubbing with the moss, and 

 mix the colors as near as you can. 



7. There is also taken this month a black blue dun ; the dub- 

 bing of the fur of a black rabbit mixed with a little yellow, the 

 wings of the feather of a blue pigeon's wing. 



AUGUST. 



The same flies with July. 



1. Then another ant-fly ; the dubbing of the black brown hair
