ON FLY MAKING. 131 



Pale Blue Dun. Body to be dressed or formed with 

 pale blue silk; legs, a pale dun hackle; wings, from a 

 starling's short quill feather. 



MAY AND AUGUST SHADES (Yellow Dun of May). 

 Body, palish yellow mohair, mixed with a little pale blue 

 fur, spun upon palish yellow silk; wings, young star- 

 ling's or fieldfare's quill; legs, a light dun hackle, freck- 

 led with yellow. 



Hare's Ear Dun. Body, blue mole's fur, dressed with 

 silk of a pronounced yellow; wings, from the redwing's 

 quill; legs, hare's fur from behind the ear. 



The name of this dressing is taken, for convenience 

 sake, in common with the rest here given, from the 

 nature of the material used in the copies of the graduated 

 shades of the naturals, which periodically occur as the 

 season advances and recedes. 



IN JUNE SHADE (Golden Dun), to be tied or dressed 

 with deep yellow silk, neatly ribbed with fine gold wire; 

 wings from a young starling's longer fiberia quill; legs, a 

 palish dull hackle, freckled with yellow. 



The common Yellow Dun is the same dressing, minus 

 the gold tassel, the waxed tying silk being used for the 

 formation of the body. 



Those of JULY (Pale Evening White). Body a little 

 white fur spun on pale buff- colored silk. Wings the 

 palest part of a young starling's wing feather; legs a pale 

 dun hackle. 



Pale Evening Dun. Body, yellow martin's fur, spun 

 sparingly on yellow silk; wings, starling, slightly stained 

 yellow; legs, a brassy dun hackle. A pale blue hackle, 

 stained in weak yellow dye, forms an excellent substitute. 



July Dun. Body, blue rabbit's fur, mixed with yellow 

 mohair; wings, the bluest part of a fieldfare's wing, 

 stained slightly yellow; legs, a darkish dun hackle. Ty- 

 ing silk, yellow.
