Dotterel hackle, with yellow or orange 

 body, is a general favourite on all North- 

 country streams; it is a splendid imitation 

 of the pale yellow dun, and has accounted 

 for some good baskets of fish. 



The Golden Plover Spider, with quill or 

 yellow body, appears on the water towards 

 the end of May, and kills \vell in clear water. 



Turkey brown comes on the water early 

 in May; it has a good character, and is 

 used generally by fly-fishers. 



The Olive Dun fly appears in May in 

 various shades, and it is as well to have 

 the different dressings, being a most reli- 

 able fly that kills well in May. 



The Autumn Black fly usually comes on 

 about the end of August, and kills well 

 until the end of the season. Teal and silver 

 body dressed on a No. o hook works well 

 in the latter part of August and September.
