This fly comes from ca water nympha, lives 

 two days as shown, and then turns to the Little 

 Dark Spinner (see No. 23). It is to be used on 

 cold days ; is a very good fly upon some waters, 

 and is in season from about the time that the 

 March Brown becomes scarce until the end of 

 June.^ 



IMITATION. 



Body. Dark brown floss silk ribbed with 

 purple silk thread. 



Tail. A whisk or two of a red cock's 

 hackle, stained as for the legs. 



Wings. Tip of the brownest feather from a 

 partridge's tail, or, if well selected, a feather 

 may be found on the back of the partridge. 



Legs. Eed cock's hackle, stained a good 

 brown with copperas. 



To make it buzz, a feather from the grouse 

 may be tied on hackle-wise, in the manner shown 

 for the Green Drake, No 28. 



^ A fly is found upon some waters, similar in every respect 

 to the above, except that the wings partake of the colour of the 

 Iron Bhie. The little Dark Spmner, No. 23, answers for its 

 metamorphosis.
