LEGS. Fibres from a Jack-snipe's feather. 



This fly is useful from the beginning of June until the 

 end of the season ; it kills well occasionally about mid-day, 

 but is best as an evening fly. 



No. 47. SMALL BLUE BLOA. Hook O. 

 WINGS. From a feather from Bluecap's tail. 

 BODY. Orange silk. 

 LEGS. Pale yellow fibres. 



I have been unable to identify this with any fly dressed 

 by Jackson, Ronalds, Theakston, or others. Most of them 

 give flies of almost similar names, and all of them differ 

 greatly in the dressing. The fly here given will be found a 

 good, all round summer killer. 



No. 48. GREENSLEEVES. Hook i. 

 WINGS. Hackled with a feather from the inside of a 



Woodcock's wing or from a hen Pheasant's 



neck. 



BODY. Bright green silk. 

 HEAD. do. 



Differs little from the Greentail, and is probably a fanciful 

 edition of that fly, useful only on dull, sultry days, and 

 occasionally in the evening. Not generally dressed, but 

 will now and then kill fairly. 



No. 49. THORNFLY DUN. Hook i.. 

 WINGS. Hackled, with a Landrail's feather, taken from 



under the wing. 

 BODY. Orange silk. 

 HEAD. Peacock herl. 



A very excellent fly in a good bold brown water on warm 

 days in summer, from June onwards. It is a variation of 

 No. 5 and equally useful. Dressed with a redder feather it 

 is the same fly as that known as Blacker's Red.
