Some of these three classes of aquatics are hatching and 

 on the water throughout the season ; and by their daily 

 appearance become known to the fish, and form part of 

 their daily food. The smooth wings and fleshy bodies of 

 the browns and drakes prevail in streams like the Ure ; 

 the duns are often plentiful and well taken in such as the 

 Laver and Skell. The three classes comprise a store for 

 selection that may serve for every day in the season. 



4TH. SPINNERS. This class is intended to include those 

 long-legged slender tribes of flies, calJed here jenny spin- 

 ners ; the grey spinner is the largest of the class, and the 

 heron spinner the smallest that is mentioned here. They 

 have small heads and smaller necks, large rounded shoul- 

 ders and small cylindrical bodies, consisting of about nine 

 joints, from two-thirds to three-fourths the length of the 

 fly. They have in general two small feelers and a small 

 trunk or brush at the nose ; they have six long small legs, 

 and a pair of long narrow wings some slanting upwards 

 from the shoulders, others laying horizontally on each other 

 over the back. In cold weather they are weak, and fly 

 heavy, but when warm and suitable they take lofty flights. 

 There are vast varieties of them, many of very delicate 

 texture and rich colors. Some are bred on land and some 

 in the water; and all are very natural and attractive to 

 the fish.
