Note

Favorite Flies - Mary Orvis Marbury

The Lady of the Lake is a comparatively new fly, originating in America. It is usually dressed large and for deep waters. The name originally belonged to the Alexandra fly, but when it was abandoned for that fly in favor of the name of the much-admired princess, it was appropriated for this new and dainty creation of the American fly-makers.
