Q09 



THE TRENT 



is a good river for greyling fishing, near the 

 town of Newark, on the Nottingham and Lin- 

 coln Raikoad. The flies to suit it are small 

 blue duns, cochybonddus, small black hackles, 

 orange duns, red hackles without wings, wren 

 hackles, small grouse hackles, ash duns, willow 

 flies, blue blows, &c. 



The well known Lakes and Rivers of Cum- 

 berland are excellent for fly fishing, particularly 

 Ulswater for trout, and the beautiful Lake 

 Windermere for a fish called Char. These 

 delicious fish take a fly like the sea-trout, 

 which they resemble in shape, although much 

 darker in colour. A small fly made on No. 8 

 hook, or No. 6, with puce body and hackle, 

 ribbed with silver, the wings of brown mallard, 

 and a tail the same feather as the wings ; a fly 

 with an orange body, black hackle, and mallard 

 wings; another with woodcock wings, orange 

 body, and furnace red hackle; a fly with a 

 bronze peacock harl body, rib of gold, black 

 hackle, and jay wings, varied with light grey 

 mallard for wings; and my list of trout flies
