head to be formed of peacock's harl, in the same 

 manner as the green drake; the wings of the 

 mottled feather of the mallard or mallard-teal, 

 provided it be not very dark ; and the tail of the 

 hair of sable or fitchews tail. This fly should 

 be thrown directly over the fish, and so managed, 

 if possible, that the wings may not touch the 

 water. 



No. 31. The Peacock Fly comes on early in 

 L the season, and is an excellent fly, on gloomy 

 days, throughout the year. The body is made of 

 dark peacock harl ; the wings from the feathers of 

 the starling, and made to lie flat on the back : 

 a grizzled hackle for legs, to be dressed with 

 mulberry-coloured silk. 



No. 32. The Cinnamon Fly has four wings, 

 which are large in proportion to the body. 

 They should be dressed full, and made from 

 the pale reddish brown feathers of a hen, 

 which approach the colour of cinnamon; the 

 body of any dark brown fur ; and a ginger 

 hackle for legs.
