AFRICAN FISH AND ARTIFICIAL FLIES 
By C. M. Dobbs 
In Mr. Woodhouse’s article in No. 5 of the Journal, p. 85, 
mention is made of the fact that the cyprinoid fish in the Nzoia, 
Yala, and Lusimo Rivers rise to the natural fly and would 
probably do so to a suitably dressed artificial one. I was 
stationed at Mumias in February 1910 and occasionally fished 
in the Nzoia, using pieces of sweet potato as bait. On one 
occasion while waiting for a bite I noticed that fish were rising 
readily to natural fly. As I had my fly-book with me I mounted 
a cast which I had used when trout-fishing at home the previous 
year. I found that the fish rose to the artificial fly quite well 
and I had some very good sport. I do not remember which 
fly attracted them most but my experience will prove that 
they take artificial flies.
