14 Scotch Loch- Fishing. 



which operation there is no harm in taking 

 your boatman's suggestions, do not change, un- 

 less it be to put on a smaller or larger size 

 according to the wind, or unless it is conclu- 

 sively proved that other flies are raising trout 

 when yours cannot. Of course, if you are 

 going for a fortnight's fishing, you will require 

 to lay in a fair stock ; but even then get as few 

 as you think you can possibly do with. Do 

 not run any risk of running short, and do not 

 place yourself in the position of needing to use 

 old casts : that is poor economy in the long-run. 

 The following is, we think, a fair list for a fort- 

 night's sport in an out-of-the-way place : 



Half-dozen harelugs. 



red and teal. 



orange and mallard. 



green and woodcock. 



black spiders with red tips, commonly called 



" Zulus." 

 red spiders, hackle taken well down the 



hook. 

 March Browns, which, though supposed to 



come out in March, are really capital flies 



at any time. 

 yellow body with cinnamon wings and 



golden-pheasant tip. 

 dark harelug body, mallard wing and red 



tip. This is a splendid spring fly.
