ANGLING 



If this fly be dressed on a No. 6 or 7 hook, and 

 winged with the red rump feather of a pheasant, it will 

 be found an excellent lake fly. 



25. Geeen Deake. — Appears late in May or early in 

 June. This short-lived insect is not to be found on 

 every stream : I have never seen it on the Wandle. 

 Imitation. — Body, yellow floss silk, ribbed with brown 

 silk ; the extreme head ani tail, coppery peacock's 

 herl ; legs, a red or ginger hackle ; wings, the mottled 

 wing of a mallard, stained olive ; tail or whisk, three

 cock's hackle ; wings, from a mallard's mottled feather,

27. The Black Palmer is a standard fly, and its 

 merits are too well known to need description. It is 

 a valviable drop-fly in dark, rainy, or windy weather, 

 and in full water. Imitation. — Ostrich's herl, ribbed 

 with silver twist, and a black cock's hackle over all. 



28. The Soldier Palmer. — This fly (and its varieties) 

 may be considered the most general fly on the list, and 

 many anglers never flt up a fly-link without having a 

 red hackle, of some kind, for a drop-fly. Imitation. — 

 Body, red mohair, or squirrel's fur, ribbed with gold 

 twist, and red cock's hackle over all.
