114 FLIES AND FLY FISHING. 



It is a good fly all day long, although, the original is 

 out chiefly in the middle of the day. Except for lake 

 fishing, it should always be imitated buzz. 



Hooks, according to water, JSTos. 8 and 9 are useful 

 sizes. "When the May fly is on, it may be tied on Nos. 

 6 and 7. 



Body : 1st. Rich claret coloured worsted, over which 

 dark bronze peacock's heii. 



The worsted and herl showing alternately. 



The body should be made fat, and a light, smoky, trans- 

 parent looking grizzled dun hackle tied on rather fully. 



This is by far the best imitation of the fly itself I have 

 ever seen. 



There are all sizes of this fly come out, so it may be 

 tied on hooks from No. 5 to 11. 



An Orl Fly for Lakes. Hooks, ]Nos. 4, 5, 6, 7. 



Body : Same as above, with a silver wire ribbing. 



Hackle : Coch-y-bondhu. 



Wings : Two very dark mottled slips of pheasant's wings. 



15. The G-rey Spinner. Can be used from April until 

 the end of June in the afternoons and evenings. I con- 

 sider this a most killing fly ; it is the imitation of one of 

 the spinners, but it is not necesary for the original itself 

 to be on the water, when it is used. The fish will take it
