THE FLY FISHER'S GUIDE. 125 



No fisherman should commence his operations 

 in the morning without having a reserve of at 

 least triplicates of his flies ; for he will find it 

 extremely mortifying, should accident deprive 

 him of a particular fly, at which the trout were 

 rising freely, not to have another, of corres- 

 ponding colours and form, to substitute in its 

 place.
