his bronzy hue. Grayling and smelt give sport, and 

 are seasonable to the end. The needle and orange 

 brown, the iron blue, light and dark drake, and little 

 freckled dun are good grayling and smelt flies ; and 

 such as may be hatching, or on the water, may be 

 fished with the gold and silver hackle, with or without 

 the maggot. Grayling keep quiet in harbour, and 

 smelt move into deeper water. 



WORM. The Worm maybe fished in clear water, 

 and probably the best bait to depend on for grayling and 

 smelt. After the flies are all gone the brandling is an 

 excellent winter bait for grayling, when they are in the 

 finest condition. 



A respected brother of the Inn and the Angle, walked 

 from Eipon to Masham on the morning of St. Thomas' 

 day, to meet two friends, each for a day's grayling fish- 

 ing. They commenced in the Ure about two miles 

 above Masham, at nine o'clock A.M., and fished up to 

 near Ellinstring, and back to near Masham winding 

 up about four in the afternoon, and walked back to 

 Ripon the same night. Returning by way of Mickley 

 the three kills were weighed by RICHARD HEATH, the 

 landlord of the , where they stayed for re- 

 freshment ; and amounted to forty-four and a quarter 

 pounds. One of the party, considered the best angler, 

 did not wade (a great disadvantage,) whose kill was 

 thirteen pounds ; our friend, fourteen ; and the other, 

 about seventeen pounds.
