 rather small, with the tinsel, of course.

 greyish dark hackle, the colour of the dark fur 

 on the ear, mallard wings, and tail of the same. 

 Make another fly mixed with orange and yellow

It would be as well to try very small gaudy 

 flies occasionally, as you may rise a grilse 

 during the time you are fishing for white-trout. 

 A grilse loves to rise at a middling gaudy fly 

 after leaving the sea. Blue, green, and red 

 flies are all good. 



I will give three more favorites that will not 

 miss : —
