62 FOSTER'S LIST OP REFINED AND IMPROVED 



" Foster's Bumbles " we have referred to often before as being among the best flies 

 it is possible to use for grayling or trout in the midland streams." Fishing Gazette, 

 Sept., 1885. 



the water is discoloured. The light copy is an excellent fly on a summer's 

 evening, towards dusk, when it is taken for the small light grass moth. 

 The Little Chap is an excellent fly for grayling and trout on all fine 

 clear days during the summer. 



JULY.-No. 1, Pale Evening White; No. 2, Pale Even- 

 ing Dun ; No. 3, July Dun ; No. 4, Honey Dun Bumble ; 

 * No. 5, Red Ant ; No. 6, General Black. 



The Pale Evening Whites and Duns are very abundant through the 

 whole of this month. They may be observed in clouds, together with 

 the Red and Golden Spinners, Yellow Sally, &c., about bridges, weirs, 

 &c., after sunset, when both aerial and terrestrial fly-catchers have a fine 

 time of it. The July Dun, Red Ant, and Dotterel, may be used at mid- 

 day, when the fish are on the feed. The General Black is a very useful 

 fly, as it effectually represents the whole tribe of blacks. It is an 

 especial favourite in Derbyshire, Staffordshire, and the North. 



AUGUST. No. 1, Whistler Fly ; * No. 2, Golden Dun ; 

 No. 3, August Dun ; No. 4, Cinnamon Fly ; No. 5, Golden 

 Dun Midge ; No. 6, Orange Dun. 



The Whistler is a most excellent fly for discoloured water. We have 

 killed enormous baskets of fish with this fly when the water has been 

 deemed too muddy for worm fishing. The Golden Dun is almost 

 nvariably a good killer on bright clear days. The August Dun comes 

 on the water at eleven and stays until four o'clock. The late Foetid 

 Brown or Cinnamon is very good on cold windy days, when it is often 

 very numerous about the stones lining the river side. The Golden 

 Dun Midge and Orange Duns are good throughout the whole season. 



SEPTEMBER. No. 1, Whirling Blue Dun; No. 2, Prim- 

 rose Dun ; No. 3, Little Pale Blue : No. 4, Willow Fly ; * 

 No. 5, Blue-Bottle ; No. 6, Red Spinner. 



The Whirling Blue is a well-known fly for autumn fishing. It is 

 much appreciated by the fish, especially on cold days, and under these
