SALMON FISHING WITH THE FLY. 255 



to unanimity is in regard to a certain amount of silver or gold 

 tinsel being a desideratum in the construction, or rather deco- 

 ration, of the bodies, which otherwise may be dressed smooth, 

 with floss silk, or rough, with mohair ; and of all shades and 

 colours of the rainbow yellows, reds, and blues being, per- 

 haps, the most generally favoured. 



All legal restrictions in regard to the times and methods 

 of salmon fishing apply equally to sea trout, the habits of which 

 are also generally very similar ; it is unnecessary, therefore, to 

 lay down any separate rules on the subject. 



And so I say farewell, and wish all my brother sportsmen 

 our old greeting on the Conway ' A tight line ! ' 



JOHN P. TRAHERNE.
