THE BEST TROUT INSECTS FOR JUNE 



imitation will be found useful at times, as a change 

 to a small dark fly. 



No. IS. Croldrim. A pretty little land fly that 

 frequents the water at evening. Its shoulders, tail, 

 and eyes are green. The wings are a dull gray 

 edged with golden yellow. 



No. 16. Emerald. In form and mode of flight 

 this is not unlike the yellow sally, but the varied 

 bright colors are placed differently. The head and 

 shoulders of this insect are bright emerald; the tail 

 brilliant yellow; the upper part of the legs green, 

 the lower part yellow. Staring and standing out 

 of the small green head are two deep black eyes, 

 from which shoot up a pair of horns in the shape of 

 a lyre. 



My imitation of this insect, with flat, white wings 

 reaching far over the tail, was used with excellent 

 results in July, evidently being taken by the fish 

 for the light-colored browns so numerous in that 

 month. 



No. 17. Little yellow stone. This little fly 

 is exceedingly bright in yellow and orange, being 

 no doubt a newly hatched insect. It is somewhat 

 larger than the emerald and the yellow sally, to 

 both of which there is quite a resemblance when seen 

 in flight. A larger specimen of this same insect 

 was pictured in May, but it was not nearly so bril- 

 liant in color. Either one of these two insects
