PRACTICAL FLY-FISHER. 27 



FLIES FOR AUGUST. 



NO. 47. AUGUST BKOWN. 



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 Ked 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. 



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. 



Wings. Inside of Snipe's wing feather. 



Body. Light drab silk. 



Legs and Tail. Grizzled hackle. 



The Spinner is too transparent to imitate.
