The larva is probably that of the Yellow Sally Chrysoperla viridis a famous fly on hot days in May and June. Among the pebbles there, below the fall, we should have found, a month since, a similar but much larger grub, with two paddles at his tail. There.
But if it cannot be bought, it can at least be made; and I should advise everyone who fishes rocky streams in May and June, to dye for himself some hackles of a brilliant greenish- yellow, and in the most burning sunshine, when fish seem inclined to rise at no fly whatsoever, examine the boulders for the Chrysoperla, who runs over them, her wings laid flat on her back, her yellow legs moving as rapidly as a forest-fly's; try to imitate her, and use her on the stream, or on the nearest lake.
A red cowhair body and a woodcock wing is his type, and let those who want West-country trout remember him. Another fly, common on some rocky streams, but more scarce in the chalk, is the 'Yellow Sally, which entomologists, with truer appreciation of its colour, call Chrysoperla viridis.
