THE BEST TROUT INSECTS FOR JUNE 



most useful in such weather. It comes out quite 

 late at evening, and may be used at that time, unless 

 the green-eye is upon the water in goodly numbers. 



No. 4. Greenback. So called because the up- 

 per body is green. It is a smaller fly than the 

 broadtail ; but, on the whole, it is more abundant on 

 fair days and evenings. It can be used on warm 

 evenings throughout the month. The legs are 

 long, and the body stands quite high for so small an 

 insect. 



No. 5. Yellow-tip. An extremely dainty little 

 insect, quite unusual in its markings. It has a dark 

 yellow body, and a pale yellow tail, perfectly white 

 underneath, the end tipped with bright yellow, from 

 which shoot two long yellow wisks. The eyes shine 

 out in vivid green, making it perhaps the most 

 beautifully marked insect of this class. It is some- 

 what tender, and hides itself for protection from 

 the cold; but it soon appears when the sun and 

 warmth come back. 



The artificial can be used at any time all through 

 the month. 



No. 6. Spot-wing. A large, handsome insect, 

 quite plentiful on warm afternoons and evenings. 

 The bluish, mottled wings stand high up on the 

 rich, orange-colored shoulders. The entire body 

 underneath is pale greenish-brown. The legs are 

 yellow, mottled in brown-black, and the eyes are a 

 vivid green.
