THE TROUT 75 



for April and May in most of the rivers in England 

 and Wales. 



A red cock's hackle body, with wings of the grey 

 drake, on Nos. 4 to 10, is a standard fly, both for salmon 

 and trout, nearly all the year round, in all the waters of 

 Great Britain. 



A body made of copper-coloured peacock's herl ; legs, 

 a black cock's hackle ; and wings either of the water- 

 hen's wing, or from the woodcock's breast. This fly, 

 if slightly ribbed with gold tinsel, will answer admirably 

 in June and July, after a flood. It may be wrapped on 

 hooks, from Nos. 6 to 10. 



The flies now mentioned are favourable for all waters, 

 both in Great Britain and Ireland ; but in addition to 

 them, we shall add the following more copious catalogue 

 of what we consider the best flies for all rivers and all 

 seasons ; and, we doubt not, the angler who is not over 

 fastidious will find it suificiently ample for all effective 

 purposes.
