Hook, No. 4. 17. The Red Ant. This is an imitation of 142 LIST OF FLIES. the well-known red ant, in its winged state, when it is often blown upon the water, and becomes the food of trout. It is one about which we are indifferent, as we are also about that of the Black Ant. We enumerate these sorts, with some others, particularly Nos. 6, 7, 9, 13, 20, 21, and 26, more for the sake of a good variety from which a selection for all rivers may be made, than for any value in which we hold them as reg...ards our own practice, or, indeed, than for any necessity for so many sorts as the whole list, for the rivers of any one locality, or even speaking generally. Body, copper-colour peacock's herl, wound thickly for two or three turns at the bottom, to form a tuft or tag ; the rest of the body dark red silk. Legs, a very small red hen's hackle. Wings, ' from the wing-feather of the jay, to lie flat. Hook, No. 1. Or 2. 18. The Black Ant. Body, tuft or tag of black ostrich herl, the rest of the body black silk.
