FLY FISHING 



good days of earlier months, and it always seems 

 to me that the condition of the trout in this 

 month ceases to be quite first-rate. Of Sep- 

 tember, on dry fly rivers, I have had no experi- 

 ence. Anglers who write of it agree in saying 

 that the trout rise better, but that their con- 

 dition has fallen off, and that an unduly large 

 proportion of female fish are killed.
