I have seen, in days when the fish are not 

 in the humour of taking, a fly tied neatly near 

 the tint, somewhat gaudy, will unquestionably 

 entice them to rise, and will decidedly be more 

 advantageous than fishing without j)lan. In 

 days when the natural flies are most numerous, 

 the trout will not take the artificial fly so freely ; 

 on the contrary, when these insects are rarely 

 to be seen, if the angler can find the colour 

 that is then prevailing, and imitate it, his 

 success will be considerably increased. 



In these pages will be found descriptions of 

 Flies that will kill well in every river and lake 

 in the United Kingdom. And those in the 

 " Hand Book of Angling," and the " Book of 

 the Salmon," by the celebrated "Ephemera," 

 will also be found excellent throughout the 

 Kingdom. 



AN EASY METHOD TO MAKE THE TEOUT FLY. 

 (See Plate.) 



The tyro will provide himself with a dubbing 

 book, containing numerous compartments, to 

 hold feathers, furs, pig hair, mohair, hackles, 

 wing feathers, silk, tinsel, scissars, pliers, knife.
