FLIES FOB AUGUST. 121 



No. 40. THE CINNAMON FLY. 



This fly comes from a water pupa. There are 

 many species. The larger ones being stronger 

 can resist the force of rain and wind better than 

 that represented, and are therefore not so well 

 known to the fish. It should be used after 

 a heavy shower, and also on a windy day. In 

 both cases very great diversion may be expected 

 with it. 



IMITATION. 



BODY. Fawn-coloured floss silk, tied on with 

 silk thread of the same colour. 



WINGS. Feather of ayellowbrownhen's wing, 

 rather darker than the landrail's wing feather. 



LEGS. A ginger hackle. 



It is made buzz with a red hackle from the 

 grouse, or a red hackle stained brown with cop- 

 peras, and tied on the same body. 

 Hook No. 3, long. 



REMARKS. So numerous are the species of 

 Caddis Fly resembling the above, different on 

 different waters, that the angler must use his 

 own observation. A wren's tail feather, wound 

 round a hare's ear body, will aid him in giving 

 the rich brown tint common to many of the 

 genus, and the landrail's quill feather will be 

 sufficiently dark with this hackle.
