FLIES FOR AUGUST. 103 



No. 38. AUGUST DUN. 



This fly comes from a water nympha, lives two or 

 three days as shewn, then changes to a Red Spin- 

 ner. 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 August 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. 



It is made buzz with a grouse feather wound 

 upon the above body. 



The Red Spinner, to which it changes, is very 

 similar to that which the Blue Dun (No. 2) turns 

 to, and is a good fly on a mild evening.
