288 THE COMPLETE ANGLER. [PART 11 



5. We have also another, made of a peacock's whirl without 

 wings. 



6. Another fly also is taken this month, called the SHELL- 

 FLY ; the dubbing of yellow-green Jersey-wool, and a little 

 white hog's hair mixed, which I call the Palm - fly : and do be- 

 lieve it is taken for a palm, that drops off the willows into the 

 water ; for this fly I have seen Trouts take little pieces of moss, 

 as they have swam down the river ; by which I conclude that 

 the best way to hit the right color is to compare your dubbing

7. There is also taken this month, a BLACK-BLUE DUN ; the 

 dubbing of the fur of a black rabbit mixed with a little yellow, 

 the wings of the feather of a blue pigeon's wing. 



AUGUST. 



The same flies with July. 



1. Then another ANT-FLY ; the dubbing of the black-brown 

 hair of a cow, some red warped in for the tag of his tail, and 

 a dark wing. A killing fly. 



2. Next a fly called a FERN-FLY ; the dubbing of the fur of 

 a hare's neck, that is, of the color of fern or bracken, with a 

 darkish-gray wing of a mallard's feather. A killer too. 



3. Besides these we have a WHITE HACKLE ; the body of 

 white mohair, and warped about with a white hackle-feather ; 

 and this is assuredly taken for thistle-down. 



4. We have also this month a HARRY-LONG-LEGS ; the body 

 made of bear's dun and blue wool mixed, and a brown liackle- 

 feather over all. 



Lastly, In this month all the same browns and duns are 

 taken that were taken in May. 



SEPTEMBER. 



This month the same flies are taken that are taken in April.
