130 FLIES AND FLY FISHING. 



Wings : A fine slip of any very light glossy buff 

 feather. 



Dressed Buzz: Hooks, Nos. 12, 13, and 14. 



Body same as winged, but without any ribbing. 



A fine buff-coloured hackle sparely put on. 



The fly itself much resembles the caddis on a small 

 scale. 



39. The Grreen Insect. This little insect or midge 

 comes out in September. At that time you may see 

 quantities of them on all the trees by the river side, little 

 shiny green creatures. Fish pick them off the floating 

 leaves. I have seen them at all seasons, but September is 

 the month to use the imitation. A drizzly rainy day is 

 the best. This is one of the most killing of ah 1 , grayling 

 flies ; trout will also take it very well. 



Hooks from No. 11 to the smallest size. 



When grayling are feeding on this fly, I always use 

 one tied on No. 11 hook as stretcher, and another on 

 No. 14 hook as one of the droppers. 



Body : The brightest green peacock's herl tied fat. 



A very light smoky grey hackle wound on very neatly 

 and close to the head. 



40. The Blue Gnat. This little insect comes out in 

 August, but September is soon enough for the imitation.
