Night- Flies. 59 



the wild drake or teal drake, with mixed red and 

 black wool for the body. A black hackle tied with 

 yellow silk on a No. 5 hook. 



2. Night Yellow Fly. This fly is similar to the 

 green drake which appears during the day in 

 June. The same dressing will do as is given for 

 the drake ; but as the night-fly is smaller, a No. 5 

 hook should be used instead of a No. 7. 



3. Pheasant-Tail Fly (Black Hackle). Dress the 

 wing with a feather from the hen pheasant ; the 

 body with white tinsel, and a black hackle tied 

 with yellow silk on a No. 4 hook. 



4. Pheasant-Tail Fly (Eed Hackle). Dress with 

 hen-pheasant tail and a light ginger-coloured hackle 

 with yellow silk. Hook No. 4. 



5. Large Night Brown. This fly closely resem- 

 bles the March brown, and is dressed somewhat 

 similarly. Wing The dark side of a feather from 

 the partridge-wing. Body The down from hare's 

 breast, tied with yellow silk on a No. 5 hook. 



6. Large Blue Dun. It is dressed, like other 

 blue duns or blaes, with starling-wing and black 

 hackle, tied with black silk. Hook No. 4. 



7. The Night Teal This is of the same family 

 as the other teals already described. Dress with 

 teal-drake feather and a light ginger-coloured hackle, 

 with a little reddish hare-down underneath. It is 

 tied with yellow silk on a No. 5. hook.
