43^ THE COMPLETE ANGLER. 



diapered or water wings, and with which, as I told you 

 before, I sometimes used to dibble ; and grayling will rise 

 mightily at it. But the artificial fly, which is only in use 

 amongst our anglers, is made of a dark brown shining 

 camlet, ribbed over with a very small light green silk, the 

 wings of the double grey feather of a mallard ; and it is a 

 killing fly for small fish. And so much for May. 



JUNE. 



From the first to the four-and-twentieth, the green drake 

 and stone-fly are taken, as T told you before. 



1. From the twelfth to the four-and-twentieth, late at 

 night, is taken a fly called the Owl-Fly ; the dubbing of a 

 white weasel's tail, and a white-grey wing. 



2. We have then another dun, called the Barm-Fly, from 

 its yeasty colour ; the dubbing of the fur of a yellow-dun cat, 

 and a grey wing of a mallard's feather. 



3. We have also a hackle with a purple body, whipt 

 about with a red capon's feather. 



4. As also a gold twist hackle with a purple body, whipt 

 about with a red capon's feather. 



5. To these we have this month a Flesh-FJy ; the dubbing 

 of a black spaniel's fur, and blue wool mixed, and a grey 

 wing. 



6. Also another little flesh-fly, the body made of the 

 whirl of a peacock's feather, and the wings of the grey 

 feather of a drake. 



7. We have then the Peacock-Fly, the body and wing 

 both made of the feather of that bird. 



8. There is also the Flying Ant or Ant-Fly; the dubbing 

 of brown and red camlet mixed, with a light grey wing.
