38 DUNS, SPINNERS, 8lC.— EPHEMERA. 



and the result has quite justified the experiment. By 

 coloured hackles are meant fibres of bright glassy 

 hackles, dyed red, or yellow, green or violet, but these 

 must be used carefully to obtain the desired effect — a 

 preponderance of any one colour will ruin the effect. 

 Good glassy grey cock hackle points make very effec- 

 tive wings, either dressed upright or spent wise. 



Fig. 40 is the orange tailed or autumn spinner, 

 and a successful lure late in the season. 



Fig. 41 is the small green dun, very abundant at 

 times on the Tanat, and one with which we have had 

 great sport on several occasions. 



Fig, 42 is the spinner, noticeable at the same time, 

 and equally useful. 



Figs. 43 and 44 are a pale olive, and its spinner 

 always useful when in doubt what to try. 



Fig. 45 is the Jenny spinner, which is one of the 

 varieties of doubtful success, coming on when insect 

 life is rife, the fish sorely pressed by anglers ; being 

 very small in size, many fish are pricked and few 

 caugfht with this imitation as a rule. 



Fig. 46 is the medium olive dun, a well tried and 

 established favourite. 



Fig. 47 is the pale evening dun, which rises in 

 countless myriads from many waters, and is quite a 

 success at times, but it must be dressed small. 



Fig. 48 is a dark olive dun, preferable to its lighter 

 brethren when dark clouds over-cast the sky. 



Fig. 49 is the whirling blue dun, which, by the 

 casual observer, is sometimes mistaken for a March 

 Brown on account of its size and dusky upright wings.
