THE BEST TROUT INSECTS FOR JUNE 



eye (No. 1) , if only fairly imitated wiU entice trout 

 day and evening through the entire month. 



No. 10. Orange-hlack. A dark, natty little in- 

 sect, seen aU through the day rapidly flitting over 

 the surface, now and then to dip, but always re- 

 maining quite near the surface. The remarkable 

 contrast in color — ^very dark brown above and 

 bright yeUow beneath, fore legs dark and hind legs 

 light — ^makes it a most distinctive object when seen 

 on the water; and the importance of having the un- 

 der body light is more evident in this than in any 

 other insect I know that is at all plentiful. 



No. 11. Tawny drake. A little insect entirely 

 of one color, legs, body and tail being a dull orange, 

 except that the under body is pale. 



No. 12. Blackhead. A small fly with yellow un- 

 der body, legs and wisks. The head is deep black, 

 in striking contrast to the rest of the insect, which 

 is two tones of yellow. 



No. 13. Big-eye. This is another drake with 

 some unusual features. The two fore legs are 

 raised high toward the head, which seems to be all 

 eyes. The body is dark brown and the wings are 

 a dull slate color. The big-eye has no wisks, which 

 makes it appear very bald and ungraceful in com- 

 parison with the other more beautiful species. It 

 is fairly abundant all through the month; and I 

 picture it only because of the peculiar character^ 

 istics so different from the rest.
