128 BEST'S ART OF ANGLING. 



THK SKY-COLOURED BLUE 



Comes on about the same time as the orl-flvv 

 and continues on till the middle of J uly. It is a 

 near, curious, a?<d beautiful fij , its wings are 

 transparent, stand upright upon its back, and 

 are of a fine blue colour; its body is of a pale 

 yellow, its tail forked, and the colour of its 

 wings; it is a fly the fishes take extremely well 

 from seven o'clock in the evening till sun-set. 

 The wings are made from the light blue feather 

 of a hen, the bodj is made with pale yellow 

 mohair, mixed with light blue fur, and ribbed 

 v/ith a fine cock's hackle, dyed yellow. The 

 hook No. 8. 



TUB CADIS FLY 



Cornes on about the tenth of June ; it is a large 

 four-winged fly, of a buff colour, and its body 

 the same colour of its wings : it continues on 

 the water till about the middle of J uly ; it is bred 

 from the cod-bait, a curious little inject : while 

 in the state of a grub it is greatly to be admired, 

 the outside husk that it lives in being curiously 

 wrought with gravel or sand. This fly is taken 

 best at the clearing of the water, though I think 

 him a fly worth the least notice of any in the Ca- 

 talogue, there being many sorts far preferable to 

 it. The wings are made from a feather taken 

 from a buff-coloured hen; the body is made of 

 buff-coloured mohair, and the legs of a pale 

 yellow hackle. The hook No. 6.
