tail for the whisks of its tail ; wings, a dark grey feather 

 from a mallard or drake, a black hackle under the wings-

GREEN DRAKE. 



This fly is on at the same time as the grey drake; the body 

 is made with a little yellow wool and a little fur from the 

 back of a hare's neck mixed, warped with yellow silk 

 and ribbed with green ; the wings are made from the 

 light grey feather of a drake, dyed yellow, and three 

 strands from a black cock's tail-feather for the whisks of 

 the tail, and a dun hackle under the wings hook No. 5. 



There are many more flies that frequent the water that 

 I have not mentioned, but you will find those which I have 

 enumerated to be of the greatest service. You may discover 

 a fly that kills very well for a time; but you will find 

 those in the foregoing list the most general killers.
