94 LIST OF FLIES. 



mit of their joys. In a few days after the streams are 

 deserted ; no longer is the sovereign trout the companion 

 and compeer of the roughs and the rapids ; slimy and shrunk 

 in the still dungeons of the deeps, whither they congregate 

 for safety and for succour dimmed, lank, and lousy, he 

 passes his cheerless Christmas, there to bide his time. 

 Grayling and smelt, the treasures of the Ure, may continue 

 to give sport to the flyfisher, in the frostless hours of noon, 

 if flies be on the wing. 



November comes, when the remnants of annual life must 

 totter to their fall. Few are the flies and short the inter- 

 vals of flyfishing during the days of November, a noontide 

 hour or twain, and the curtain drops for the season. 



NOVEMBER FIRST. 



Needle brown. Out daily in full numbers and perfection. 



Light, dark, and little dark drakes. Hatching and out on 

 fine warm days. 



Eed and little red drakes. Out on warm days and even- 

 ings. 



Light and freckled duns. Out in the day and warm even- 

 ings. Found two or three of the latter under a stone, as if 

 just hatched ; length half an inch. 



House and lion flies, and bronze beetle. Out in good num- 

 bers, with the ear wigs. 



Red dun. Out on fine evenings. 



TENTH. 



All the same Flies as on the First. 



TWENTIETH. 



Needle brown. On fine days in full numbers and best 

 perfection. Hatching, copulating, and laying their eggs on 

 the water.
