THE ORL FLY. 1 1 2J 



THE SHORN FLY 



i 



Comes on about the same time as the Cannon 

 fly, and continues on till the hitter end of July. 

 They are generally found in mowing grass; it is 

 of the caterpillar kind, has dus!;y wings of a 

 dark brown colour, \vith fine clear blue whigs 

 under them, wh ch it makes use of in its flight : 

 it is in greatest perfection in June; and, for the 

 time that it continues on the v water, is a most 

 excellent killer in rivers or brooks. There are 

 three sorts of them ; the one 1 have described : 

 there is another with a dull red wing, and a 

 third with a dark blue wing, all of which the fish 

 take very well, but the preference must be given 

 to the red sort : it is to be fished with any timt, 

 of the day, from sun-rise to sun-set. The wings 

 are made of a red cock's hackle, with a black list 

 up the middle; the body with a peacock's heri. 

 The hook No. 6, if for a river ; but if for a dead, 

 heavy, running brook, the fly must be made 

 larger, as on Mo 4 or 6. 



THE ORL FLY 



Comes on tho latter end cf May, and continues 

 on till the latter end of June. It is a four-winged 

 fly, generally flutters along the surface of the 

 "water, and is what fishes are remarkably fond of; 

 you may fish for it successfully, after the May 

 fly is gone, from four o'clock in the morning 

 till about seven in the evening, at which time 

 the sky-blue cpmes on ; then change it for the 

 sky-blue. The wings of the Or 1 fly are made 

 with a dark grizzle cock's hackle, and the body 

 of a peacock's her), worked with dark red silk, 

 The hood No, 6,
