The Lion, as already mentioned, is another exceptionally good silver- 
tinselled pattern. Some of our most distinguished fly-fishers adduce an 
imposing array of facts and arguments in its favour, and whatever local 
opinions may be, anglers will do wisely to give it a trial. When the water 
is slightly stained, it is, perhaps, a little more attractive than the Silver 
Grey, and may be used with advantage one size smaller, speaking com- 
paratively, the materials in the dressing being more conspicuous. In the 
event, however, of one or two downright refusals, the Jungle—which 
cannot be too black and white as a rule—should be nipped entirely off. 
The Lion is another invention of James Wright.
