The Governor. This is a very useful fly on many waters, 

 particularly in the metropolitan district, where its use is 

 almost general. I usually have three sizes of this fly by 

 me ; it is dressed of all sizes, from a No. 7 to a No. 10 or 

 1 1 hook. It is useful by day tied small, and as an evening 

 fly, on a No. 7 hook. Body, peacock's herl, dressed full 

 and finished off at the tail with two or three turns of 

 bright orange-yellow floss silk. It is sometimes an im- 

 provement to add some gold twist, and I have done good 

 work with it with a fine ribbing of gold twist ; legs, red 

 cock's hackle ; wing, lien pheasant's wing ; with a grey 

 drake wing it makes a capital late evening fly. The 

 original is, I believe, not a fly, but a beetle. 



The Edmead. This is a fly which is a good deal used 

 about the midland districts. Originally it was dressed, I 

 believe, with a bluish body, but the red body has been 

 found to kill best. It is a red-spinner body and hackle, 

 with a grey drake wing, dressed on about 10 or 11 hook. 



In the north they have a fly calM 



GreenwelTs Glory. It kills well on all the northern 

 streams, and I am greatly mistaken if it will not kill 

 equally well in the south. Hook, No. 12 or 13; body, 

 dark olive silk, thickly ribbed with very fine gold wire ; 

 legs, a small dark coch-y-bondu hackle (red with black 

 centre and tips); wings, woodcock's wing. Dressed on 

 the smallest possible hook, it kills well in the hottest 

 weather. 



The Grouse Haclde. A capital hot-weather fly dressed 

 hacklewise on a No. 11 or 1 2 hook, with a small hen grouse 

 hackle, and a yellow silk body with one turn of gold tinsel 

 at the tail. 



The Partridge Hackle. Dressed similarly to the last 

 fly, but with a grey partridge hackle and a lemon-silk 

 body. 



The last two flies, with the next one, and a black gnat,
