; small blue dun and hare's ear flies, march-brown and sand flies. When the water is clear and smooth, they will take a dun-gnat tipped with gold tinsel, beneath the surface, using a very fine casting-line and allowing it to float with the current ; you will not see a "rise" but a peculiar curl in the water, which with a little practice you will understand equally w^ell. In the winter, when the weather is warm, they will rise for an hour or two in the middle of the day at dun-gnats and very sma...ll soldier palmers. The artificial grasshopper is an excellent bait ; the following semi-artificial bait is sometimes very successful :- the shank of a No. 6 hook is partially covered with lead, and then whipped with light green floss silk, a piece of split straw should be bound on either side with a ribbing of yellow silk. Place a real grasshopper on the bend of the hook, and use it either with, or without, a very small quill float, which must be just large enough to carry the amount of lead on the hook without extra shot.
