BEST'S ART OF ANGLING. 



STONE-FLY, 



Found under hollow stones, at the side of rivers ; 

 is of a brown colour with yellow streaks on the 

 back and belly ; has large wings, and is in sea- 

 son from April to July. 



GREEN DRAKE, 



' 



Found among stones by river sides, has a yel- 

 low body, ribked with green, is long and slender, 

 with wings like a butterfly, his tail turns on his 

 back, and is easily taken from May to Midsum- 

 mer. Put the point of the hook into the thickest 

 part of his body, under one of his wings, run it 

 directly through, and out on the other side, then 

 take another and put him on in the same man- 

 ner, but with his head the contrary way ; they 

 will live so near a quarter of an hour. 



The Green, and Grey-drake, are taken both 

 in streams and still waters, at all hours of the 

 day, while in season ; \heStone-jly chiefly in the 

 morning and evening. 



GREY DRAKE, 



Found in general where the Green-drake is, and 

 in shape and dimensions perfectly the same, but 

 almost quite another colour, being of a paler and 

 more livid yellow ; and green and ribbed with 

 black quite down his body ; with black shining 

 wings, diaphanous and very tender : it comes in, 

 and is t;tken after the green-drake, and when 

 made artificially, as directed in part the 2d, for 

 the month of May, kills fish very well. The 

 following curious account of it from JBowlker, 

 cannot fail to amuse the reader^
