118 FLIES FOR AUGUST. 



No. 38. THE AUGUST DUN. 



This fly comes from a water nymplia, lives two 

 or three days, as shown, then changes to a Eed 

 Spinner. It is quite as important a fly for this 

 month as the March Brown is for March. It is 

 in season from the beginning; of Auejust to the 

 middle of September. 



IMITATION. 



Body. Brown floss silk ribbed with yellow 

 silk thread. 



Tail. Two rabbit's whiskers. 

 Wings. Feather of a brown hen's wing. 

 Legs. Plain red hackle stained brown. 

 Hook No. 2, short. 



It is made buzz with a grouse feather wound 

 upon the above body.
