THE GRASSHOPPER 
FLY 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 413) 
then a description if properly made can 
be easily understood by the average per- 
son. 
But to return to our original theme 
and leaving for others the questionable 
pleasure of arguing about correct terms 
and phrases; the fall of grasshoppers 
generally commences about 8 A. M. (old 
style), however, if the preceding night 
has been quite cool and should there 
have been a touch of frost in the early 
morning, the grasshoppers may not be- 
gin to appear floating on the surface of 
the water until some time later, possibly 
as late as 11 A. M. 
O NCE they begin to appear floating 
on the surface of the water, they 
continue to do so during the greater 
part of the balance of the day, and dur- 
ing all this time the fish feed raven- 
ously on them. The average duration 
of a fall of grasshoppers on a favorable 
day may be put down at about 6% or 
7 hours. Now this is a much longer time 
than the length of time taken by a rise 
of some particular fly. I have observed 
some very heavy rises of the March 
Brown or Brown Drake. These usually 
commenced about 9 A. M. and by 1:30 
P. M. there was not a single specimen 
visible in the air or floating down stream 
on the surface of the water. This rise 
of the Brown Drake must not be taken 
as an average rise, in fact it was an 
exceptional rise, and it only lasted about 
four hours. The evening rise of sedges 
and spinners is of much shorter dura- 
tion. Of course there are days on which 
some sort of a hatch of flies is taking 
place on and off throughout the entire 
day, but these sort of days are not 
nearly as numerous as the days on which 
a fall of grasshoppers lasts 6 or 7 hours. 
The majority of fishermen that I have 
met invariably use the natural insect 
for bait, but although numbers of trout 
are caught in this manner, there are 
certain disadvantages in connection with 
this style of fishing that will be worth 
while enumerating as contrasted with 
the, in my estimation, better and more 
sportsmanlike method of catching trout 
with the grasshopper fly. 
T O begin with there is first of all the 
necessity of catching the grasshop- 
pers. then there is the messy job 
of impaling them on the hook, and when 
they are finally fixed, the casting of the 
baited hook on the water. 
A grasshopper on a hook will not float 
and consequently does not present a very 
natural appearance. In localities where 
many fishermen use the natural bait, the 
fish become very wary and will only 
take the baited hook in the swift water 
or in water where the comparatively 
still surface is ruffled by a strong wind. 
Therefore, unless a good wind is blow- 
ing, only the upper portions of the pools 
where the surface is broken up by the 
swift rush of the incoming water is worth 
fishing with the baited hook. 
The deep, slow flowing portions, where, 
it might be incidentally remarked, most 
of the bigger fish are to be found, has 
to be left unfished, or fished only with
