l'!> LI.YX OGWEN FLIKS. 



on the breast being clipped slightly. [Killed several fish with this on 

 Loch Leven, having added a teal wing. F. F.] 



In Xoe. 1, 2, 4 and 6, the wool ia picked out a little. 



All the hooks are of the round bend, and the numbers run from 5 

 to 7, but the shanks are shorter than they are in my scale by a full 

 quarter of an inch or more. 



Here are half-a-dozen patterns for Welsh lakes. They 

 are the pets of Llyn Ogwen, and were sent me by an artist 

 of note who dwells on the banks; they are beautifully 

 tied, and will be useful on any of the Welsh lakes. 



1. Orange mohair, gold tinsel and grouse hackle (buzz). 



2. Black ostrich herl, silver tinsel : black hackle; slips of a clearly 

 specked grouse feather fcr the wing. 



3. Copper-coloured peacock herl ; red hackle, stained orange, with 

 a black but or bottom to it (buzz ). 



4. Copper-coloured peacock herl; black hackle; light starling 

 wing. 



0. Black ostrich herl, and silver thread ; black hackle ; medium 

 starling wing. 



6. Body and tinsel as in No. 5; hackle stained bright red of a lake 

 colour ; wing, dark starling or blackbird. 



These flies are small, and are dressed on Nos. 1 1 and 12 

 hooks, but they can be enlarged to suit the taste and fancy 

 of the angler or the fish. 



With the list I have given, and the following list for 

 the west of Ireland lakes and streams, more particularly 

 in Kerry, and which were sent me by Haynes of Cork, 

 and are beautifully tied, the lake angler may consider hi* 

 quiver full even to repletion. I describe the flies as I find 

 them in the parcel : 



1. Is neither more nor less than the common blue dun. Blue dun 

 body ; ditto hackle ; and starling wing, two whisks for tail. 



2. Is a small March brown. 



3. Is the August dun. 



4. Medium orange floss body and gold thread; black hackle; 

 medium starling wing; mallard whisks for tail. 



5. Body, tail, tinsel, as in No. 4; light blue dun hackle, and light 

 starling wing.
