SECOND DAY. 437 



of the day, we seldom dape with this but in the streams 

 (for in a whistling wind a made fly in the deep is better), 

 and rarely but early and late, it not being so proper for the 

 mid-time of the day ; though a great grayling will then take 

 it very well in a sharp stream, and here and there a trout 

 too ; but much better toward eight, nine, ten, or eleven of 

 the clock at night, at which time also the best fish rise, and 

 the later the better, provided you can see your fly ; and 

 when you cannot, a made fly will murder, which is to be

 with yellow silk ; and the wings long, and very large, of the 

 dark grey feather of a mallard.

 silver twist, and the black hackle of a cock over all ; and is 

 a killing fly, but not to be named with either of the other. 



15. The last May-fly (that is, of the four pretenders) is 

 the little Yellow May-fly ; in shape exactly the same with 

 the green drake, but a very little one, and of as bright a 

 yellow as can be seen ; which is made of a bright yellow 

 camlet, and the wings of a white-grey feather dyed yellow. 



1 6. The last fly for this month (and which continues all 

 June, though it comes in the middle of May), is the fly 

 called the Camlet-Fly, in shape like a moth ; with fine
