THE JUNGLE HORNET. G.S. 



(Grub.) (KELSON.)

 BUTT. No. 1 hackle, a coch-a-bonddu, slightly tinged in Bismarck 



brown, cheeked with Jungle. 

 BODY. Twelve alternate coils of yellow and black chenille. No. 2, hackle 



in centre, and No. 3, at head, as before, cheeked. 

 This Grub (illustrated), a vast improvement on " Ajax," is far more 

 successful for general purposes than any of its kind. It is easily varied 

 for all rivers. The tail may be composed of yellow Macaw, with or 

 without Summer Duck. The body, instead of yellow, may have either 

 blue or red chenille. Taking the last five seasons, this fly has killed for 

 me twenty-seven Salmon. One day in the year 1882 while fishing the 

 Bryn stream above the town of Usk, I caught two Salmon with it 

 averaging 28 Ibs. in weight. The fly may be dressed either large or 

 small ; and is very useful when the water is slightly coloured.
