36 MAYFLIES, &c.—EPHEMERID^. 



Fig. 33, the Sulphur Dun, appears later in the season, is 

 abundant in July and August, and is a favourite with the 

 fish tribes. 



Fig. 34, the Copper Spinner, is a handsome insect, and 

 well worth attention. 



Fig. 35 is very abundant in June, and either dressed as 

 shewn, or with a body light coloured at the tail, and dark 

 towards the thorax, is a distinct success. 



The Drakes recall glorious days with big fish and 

 sunshine and a meriy breeze, and again, squally winds, 

 rough waters, and disappointments, but, running through 

 all associations is one of longing to be there again 

 and put one's skill and luck to the test once more, and 

 a feeling of certainty that on the next occasion greater 

 success and better sport would be certain to result from 

 one's efforts. 



Although a pleasure may be ephemeral, the joy of 

 anticipation is considerable, the preparation for an 

 excursion, when word is sent that the Mayfly is up, 

 s great, and the memory of such is a joy which lasts 

 to the end of one's life.
