formed that one of the best anglers on the spot 

 had it always on his lash. Tlie wing feather of 

 the Merlin Hawk which " Arundo " commends 

 for this fly was found very successful in this 

 very water. ("Practical Fly Fishing,"' p. 22.) 



Xo. 34. THE GOLD-EYED GAUZE-WING. 



This is rather a scarce insect upon some 

 waters, but where it is found affords great sport 

 on windy days. Both larger and smaller species 

 than that represented, of this apple-green tint, 

 are to be found, and also one of a lighter and 

 yellower shade. The eye possesses wonderful 

 brilliancy. It may be used as soon as the Green 

 Drake goes out, for about three weeks, and is to 

 be found even as late as September. The smell 

 is fetid. 



IMITATION. 



Body. Very pale yellowish green floss silk, 

 tied on with silk thread of the same colour. 



Legs. The palest blue dun hackle which 

 can be procured. 



Wings. Any transparent feather, stained 

 slightly green. (See " Ephemera.") 

 Hook No. 2, long.
