To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
3. Body, pale snuff-coloured wool, ash-coloured silk ; wings, a pale brown hen-feather, with a dark grizzled cock's hackle under the wings hook No. 5. The body of these flies are made large. PALMER WORMS. 35 As a friend of mine was dibbing with the natural white moth one night in the river Eatherow, he caught a very fine eel with it. Though I have given you the size of the hook to each fly ; some of them may be made larger for dead, heavy, or coloured waters, but in fine water use small flies, ...for by doing so you will have considerably more sport ; you cer- tainly will lose more fish by their becoming unhooked, than if you used large ones ; but you can afford to do so, because you will have more rises, and in the summing up at night you will find that you have it ken more fish than you would have done had you used the larger flies. Be very careful to keep your silk and dubbing clean when making flies, and see that the body and wings lie neat and straight on the hook ; never mind what slo- vens say (for some of them will tell you it does not matter how the fly is made if the wings and body be the right colour, ) but I say to them, they are mistaken ; for you may be sure the nearer they are to nature the better.
