BAIT AND FLY FISHING. 83 



No. 9. This fly rises in August; it is 

 about half-an-inch long, and of a slightly 

 greyish hue, with clear erect wings. It may 

 be imitated by the wing feather of a jepie 

 for its wings ; and the hair of a water rat, 

 mixed with that of a hare's ear, mottled, for 

 its body, tied on with light yellow silk, 

 the threads being kept apart to resemble a 

 screw. 



During the month of August, a great 

 number of flies of all colours are to be met 

 with, which may be imitated by using the 

 wing or tail feathers of the teal, drake, 

 fieldfare, bunting, &c., for wings ; and hair 

 from the ear of the rabbit or hare, black fur, 

 yellow seal's wool, and tinsels of various 

 colours, for body and legs.
