148 FLIES AND FLY FISHING. 



The Grey Drake. 



Hooks as for green drake. 



Body : Of white floss silk, or better philozel, ribbed 

 distinctly, first with dark brown silk, and then with 

 silver tinsel. 



Tail : Four very long strands of any brown feather, 

 and a light speckled grey hen's hackle put on as for green 

 drake. 



A Winged Grreen Drake for Lakes and Ponds. 



Hook, No. 6 ; occasionally Nos. 4, and 5. 



Body and tail : Same as buzz dressing. 



A long-fibred cream-coloured hackle. 



Wings : Two equal sized slips from a mallard's wing- 

 feather stained of a dirty olive colour. 



A Winged Crrey Drake for Lakes, $c. 



Hook, No. 6 ; occasionally No. 5. 



Body and tail : Same as buzz dressing. 



A grizzled grey hackle wound on from tail to head and 

 clipped close, and two turns of partridge hackle over this 

 at the shoulder. 



Wings : Two equal sized full slips of guinea fowl's 

 feather. 



The Tails on all these flies ought to be made quite 

 limp, this peculiarity is very marked in the natural fly. 

 Rabbits whiskers answer the purpose very well.
