PRACTICAL FLY-FISHER. 27 



FLIES FOR AUGUST. 



No. 47. August Brown. 



Comes out about the 26th of July, but continues through August 

 and part of September ; a fly well taken. 



Wings. Feather from a young Partridge's back, bright Hen 

 Pheasant's quill, or grey Goose's breast. 



Body. Light brown silk, or Hare's face, ribbed with pale 

 yellow silk. 



Legs. Grizzled hackle. 



Tail. Three strands of the same. 



This fly turns to a fine Red Spinner, less but brighter than No. 7, well 

 taken in the evening. The August Brown is equally as good in its season 

 as the March Brown, which it very much resembles, though lighter 

 coloured and smaller. 



No. 48. Cinnamon Fly. 



August, September, and October ; best on rainy days. 



Wings. Feather of a yellow Hen Landrail or Owl, that is near 

 the colour of cinnamon. 



Body. Orange and straw-coloured silk. 



Legs. Ginger hackle. 



This fly continues nearly to the end of the season, and is always best 

 taken in a shower. 



No. 49. Light Bloa. 



August, September, and October ; a good fly on coldish days. 

 Wings. Inside of Snipe's wing feather. 

 Body. Light drab silk. 

 Legs and Tail. Grizzled hackle. 

 The Spinner is too transparent to imitate.
