 there are four killers for the Dovey. Hooks from Nos. 6 to 

 10, or even smaller in low water. Patterns from Farlow's. 



THE CONWAY. 



The following patterns were sent to me by C. Blackwall 

 Esq., the secretary of the Con way Club ; and the patterns 

 may, therefore, be thoroughly relied on. They are all 

 capital general flies, and would kill on many rivers : 



No. 1. Tag, silver thread and medium blue floss ; tail, 

 sprigs of yellow swan, wood-duck, and Indian jay (the 

 blue out of the wing) ; but, black ostrich ; body, one- 

 third yellow floss, the rest olive-green with a few strands 

 of yellow pig's wool ; silver tinsel ; lightish claret hackle, 

 blue jay at shoulder; wing, two jungle-cock (medium 

 length), sprigs of tippet, wood-duck (plenty), a strip of 

 red swan or red macaw, golden pheasant's tail (plenty) ; 

 blue macaw ribs ; black head. 



No. 2. The Blackwall. Tag, as before ; tail, a topping 

 and a small blue chatterer feather ; but, black ostrich ; 

 body, half medium orange floss, half redder orange mo- 

 hair ; broadish silver tinsel ; hackle, claret a shade darker 

 than No. 1, short wood-duck hackle at shoulder ; wings, 

 two medium jungle-cock, tippet, sprigs, slips of wood- 

 duck, two toppings ; blue macaw ribs ; black head. This 

 fly is Mr. Blackwall's own fancy, said to be very deadly, 

 and I have given his name to it. 



No. 3. Tag, as before ; tail, a topping, with slips of 

 wood-duck ; but, black ostrich ; body, medium orange 

 floss ; hackle, coch-y-bondu stained claret, blue jay at 

 shoulder; wing, fibres of tippet, slips of wood-duck,
