Preface. and fullest treatment; and although one would suppose that surely nothing remained to be said on this well-worn theme, it is believed that several facts of importance, especially in regard to the influence of the wind on the success of the sport, appear here for the first time. Into the list of flies I have admitted only those which, from close observation and actual trial, I have proved to be most worthy of the anglers regard. All of them, with the exception of the sand-fly (which attains its maturity in the sand and gravel at the side of the water), are hatched in the bed of the stream, and constitute the ready and natural food of the fish. The remarks under this head are more particularly applicable to the Clyde and the Tweed; still I believe they will hold good for all rivers and streams in this country, for the common natural flies are found more or less on all alike, and differ merely in the times of their development.
