mit of their joys. In a few days after the streams are 
deserted ; no longer is the sovereign trout the companion 
and compeer of the roughs and the rapids; slimy and shrunk 
in the still dungeons of the deeps, whither they congregate 
for safety and for succour—dimmed, lank, and lousy, he 
passes his cheerless Christmas, there to bide his time. 
Grayling and smelt, the treasures of the Ure, may continue 
to give sport to the flyfisher, in the frostless hours of noon, 
if flies be on the wing. 
November comes, when the remnants of annual life must 
totter to their fall. Few are the flies and short the inter- 
vals of flyfishing during the days of November, a noontide 
hour or twain, and the curtain drops for the season. 
NOVEMBER FIRST. 
Needle brown.—Out daily in full numbers and perfection. 
Light, dark, and little dark drakes.—Hatching and out on 
fine warm days. 
Red and little red drakes.—Out on warm days and even- 
ings. 
Light and freckled duns.—Out in the day and warm even- 
ings. Found two or three of the latter under a stone, as if 
just hatched ; length half an inch. 
House and lion flies, and bronze beetle.—Out in good num- 
bers, with the ear wigs. 
Red dwn.—Out on fine evenings. 
TENTH. 
All the same Flies as on the First. 
TWENTIETH. 
Needle brown.—On fine days in full numbers and best 
perfection. Hatching, copulating, and laying their eggs on 
the water.
