150 ANIMAL LIFE UNDER WATER 



same plate there are three photographs of a 

 " May fly." In the first illustration it is seen 

 floating on the surface in the area of the 

 "window"; the second shows it under the 

 water; and the third illustrates a "flash" from 

 the wing of the same fly. 



" Flash " no doubt plays an important part 

 in making many unconventional wet flies attrac- 

 tive. Many a time when the trout are off their 

 feed an odd fish has been picked up on a 

 "Butcher" fished deep. The trout has been 

 unable to resist the flash of the silver body.
