44 LIST OF FLIES. 



From briny waves, their sires' domain, 

 Their native streams cannot detain 

 Cheerily the striplings journey forth, 

 The heirs apparent and lords of both ; 

 But grieve not, angler, to loose such store, 

 They '11 never cease to bring thee more. 



Drakes, in their swadlings, tempt the trout by day, 

 And in the evenings in new dresses play. 

 Browns, beetles, spinners, during day come on 

 Duns, moths, and th' Empress, after day is done. 

 Tribes of busy house flies,- and nameless numbers 'bound 

 Rank in the woods the grass the air the ground ; 

 And numbers, unconscious, on treacherous waters light, 

 Which, struggling on its surface, tempt the fish to bite. 

 Through this gay month the Empress feeds the trout, 

 Joined by the fairy ere the month be out. 

 Of all the viands this rich season brings, 

 These, the trout's choice : whence his perfection springs ; 

 Re-rich his gildings his spotted sides expand 

 But dire 's their havoc, when in true angler's hand. 



44TH. YELLOW BEOWN (or Yellow Sally.) Sizes 

 vary. Full length, from three-eighths to half an inch or 

 more ; length, three-eights more or less. Colors alto- 

 gether yellow, of paler or deeper shade, except slight 

 touches of brown on the head, shoulders, and body; 

 eyes, dark or black. 



They commence hatching with the month, and are 

 very numerous to the end of July ; are out on fine 

 days from morning 'till night. They are a small smart 

 fly ; but, the Razor Grinder says " they taste bitter, and 

 fish don't like them." 



Hackled and legged with a small canary or yellow
