FLIES AND FLY-DRESSING 200 



To the two flies placed upon the Hst 

 I would add certain others with more 

 hesitation, because I remember not only 

 the times when they have played me 

 false, but the impossibility of successfully 

 choosing flies for a brother angler, who will 

 also have his special pets and peculiarities, 

 and may by experiment in pastures new 

 arrive at better results than those which 

 fell to my lot. 



In an old diary used in Brittany I had 

 noted certain flies, and I here set them 

 down in the order that I found them : 



Red Quill. 



Dark OHve Quill. 



Medium Olive Quill. 



Blue Dun. 



Tupps' Indispensable. 



(Against this I find in pencil, " Tie 

 warmer sizes 00 and 0.") 



Coch-y-bondhu. i 



Black Gnat. 

 Mayfly " Athos." 



("Wings should be darker; try it with 

 hackle only.")
