DRY-FLY ON LOCHS AND LAKES i6i 



besides a great number of smaller ones with the 

 floating fly. 



(3) Mr. John Henderson, who has for the last ten 

 years or more fished lakes in the West of Ireland. 

 As will be seen from his own narrative, he was not 

 greatly attracted by the dapping with the natural 

 mayfly, and prolonged study convinced him that when 

 the dapping season was waning or even after it was 

 over there was a chance of quite extraordinary sport 

 with the floating spent gnat or mayfly imago. To call 

 his sport extraordinary is no exaggeration, seeing that 

 he does not kill any fish under 3 lb. and gets specimen 

 fish even of 7 lb. or more. The greediest of dry-fly 

 fishermen would not feel dissatisfied with his sport if 

 he could secure trout of such dimensions, and these, 

 too, in the pink of condition.
