SALMON AND TROUT. 



' Silver Doctor ' fails the spotted jungle cock wing appears to exercise an 

 attraction ; but it is a killing fly in any river. 



THE 'BLACK FAIRY.' 



Tag: Gold twist and golden yellow floss; Tail: Golden pheasant 

 topping; Body: Black wool ribbed with gold twist; Throat: Black 

 cock's hackle; Wings: Brown mallard ; Head : Black ostrich herl. 



As universally killing a fly as even Jock of Scot. I prefer it on a dark 

 day ; other people fancy it on a bright one. 



'CRITCHLEY'S FANCY.' 



Tag: Silver twist and pale blue floss silk ; Tail: Golden pheasant 

 topping and fibres of golden pheasant tippet ; Body : Pale orange floss 

 silk ribbed with silver twist ; Hackle: Orange run down body; Throat: 

 Teal ; Wings: Fibres of leal, dun turkey, and red macaw ; Horns : Blue 

 and yellow macaw ; Head: Black ostrich herl. 



This fly was the only one at which fish would rise in the Ristigouche 

 river at the end of June and beginning of July 1879, and Mr. Critchley, 

 who alone did any good on the water at the time, was kind enough to give 

 me some of his patterns. The Ristigouche runs between Lower Canada 

 and New Brunswick.
