There is also a Yellow Dun; the dubbing of camel's hair, and yellow camlet or wool, mixed, and a white-gray wing. 6. There is also, this month, another Little Brown, besides that mentioned before ; made with a very slender body, the dubbing of dark brown, ...and violet camlet mixed, and a gray wing ; which, though the direction for the making be near the other, is yet another fly ; and will take when the other will not, especially in a bright day, and a clear water. 7. About the twentieth of this month comes in a fly called the Horse-flesh Fly ; the dubbing of which is a blue mohair, with pink-colored and red tammy mixed, a light-colored wing, and a dark brown head. This fly is taken best in an evening, and kills from two hours before sunset till twilight ; and is taken the month through.
