SECOND DAY. 



pare yourself for a tedious lecture ; but I will first begin 

 with the flies of less esteem, though almost anything will 

 take a trout in May, that I may afterwards insist the longer 

 upon those of greater note and reputation. Know, therefore, 

 that the first fly we take notice of in this month is called 



1. The Turkey-Fly; the dubbing ravelled out of some blue 

 stuff, and lapt about with yellow silk ; the wings of a grey 

 mallard's feather. 



2. Next, a Great Hackle or Palmer-Fly, with a yellow 

 body ribbed with gold twist, and large wings of a mallard's 

 feather dyed yellow, with a red capon's hackle over all. 



3. Then a Black Fly; the dubbing of a black spaniel's fur, 

 and the wings of a grey mallard's feather. 



4. After that, a light brown with a slender body ; the 

 dubbing twirled upon small red silk, and raised with the 

 point of a needle, that the ribs or rows of silk may appear 

 through ; the wings of the grey feather of the mallard. 



5. Next, a little dun ; the dubbing of a bear's dun whirled 

 upon yellow silk ; the wings of the grey feather of a mallard. 



6. Then, a White Gnat, with a pale wing and a black head. 



7. There is also in this month a fly called the Peacock- 

 Fly ; the body made of a whirl of a peacock's feather, with 

 a red head ; and wings of a mallard's feather. 



8. We have then another very killing fly, known by the 

 name of the Dun-Cut, the dubbing of which is a bear's dun, 

 with a little blue and yellow mixed with it ; a large dun 

 wing ; and two horns at the head, made of the hairs of a 

 squirrel's tail. 



9. The next is a Cow-Lady, a little fly ; the body of a 

 peacock's feather ; the wing of a red feather, or strips of the 

 red hackle of a cock.
