Although this is not an aquatic insect, 

 being most commonly found amongst the 

 excrement of animals, it is nevertheless a fa- 

 vourite of the Trout ; and when high winds 

 have blown these flies upon the water, the 

 Angler may calculate upon good diversion if 

 he make trial of them. 



They appear in March, and will raise fish 

 until September. The body is made of yel- 

 low camlet or mohair, mixed with a little 

 brown bear's fur, which gives the whole a 

 dusky appearance ; the feather from the 

 wing of the landrail for wings ; and a ginger 

 hackle for the legs. The wings are to be 

 dressed flat on the back, and the body made 

 full.
