going lists, which the trout will occasionally fancy. On this 
subject, Blaine says : 
“ The number of artificial flies required for the practice 
of fly-fishing, is very differently estimated by different wri- 
ters. The angling patriarch Walton, gives a list of twelve 
‘ reasonable flies,’ which his friend Cotton judiciously dou-

It appeal’s, therefore, strangely extraordinary to find a writer 
of such credit as Salter, contracting the required numbers 
into the confined limits of Red and Black Palmers, Red and
