OAK FLY. By some called the Ash-fly, (by others, erro- 

 neously, the Hawthorn-fly.) The head, which is large, of 

 an ash-colour; the upper part of the body greyish, with 

 two or three hairs of bright brown mixed, and a very little 

 light blue, and sometimes a hair or two of light green ; 

 tbe tail part is greyish mixed with orange ; wing, of a 

 mottled brown feather of a woodcock, partridge, or brown 

 hen ; hook No. 8 or 9. This is the fly which is seen much 

 in March, April, May, and June, on the body of ash-trees, 

 oaks, willows, and thorns growing near the water, standing 

 with its head downwards. It is an excellent fly, but dif- 

 ficult to imitate, being of many colours, unequally mixed. 

 It takes chiefly in the morning : it does not seem to come 

 from any cadis, for it never drops in great numbers on the 

 water; and the wings are short, and lie flat on the back, 

 like the blue-bottle, or large flesh-fly. 



ORAXGE-TAWNEY, ORANGE-BROWN, CAMLET-FLY, 

 ALDER-FLY, WITHY-FLY, or BASTARD CADIS. Dub 

 with dark brown spaniel's hair, or calf's hair that shines, 

 or barge-sail; warp with deep orange; black hackle under 

 the wing. Wing, of a darkish feather of a mallard or star- 

 ling. Taken chiefly in a morning, before the Green-drake 

 comes upon the water. 



HUZZARD. Dub with pale lemon-coloured mohair, or 

 ostrich-feather dyed yellow ; warp with yellow ; gold twist
