46 OLD FLIES IN NEW DRESSES 



contained in their cases, in the stomachs 

 of trout. 



The Caddis or Sedge flies, as I have 

 pointed out, are a very numerous family, 

 and most of them are taken very readily 

 by the trout. These flies, when on the 

 water, generally have their wings in the 

 position of rest. Notwithstanding this 

 fact, the wings of the imitation Sedges 

 are always put in an upright position, 

 while the position of the wings at rest in 

 the natural flies is practically the same 

 as in the case of the Alder, though the 

 lower edges of the wings do not, as a 

 rule, come quite so low in relation to their 

 bodies. 



THE GRANNOM (Brachycentrus submibilus, 

 Curt.). 



This fly is extremely numerous on many 

 of the streams in the South, and is so well 

 known to the fisherman that a description 

 is almost needless. It appears about the 

 middle of April, and lasts five or six 

 weeks, though Ronalds says that he has 

 found them in the stomachs of trout as 

 late as August.
