No. 33 The Cinnamon Fly

This fly comes from a water pupa. It should be used after a shower, and on a windy day. It is a very killing fly on some waters, and somewhat resembles the land fly, but does not appear so early.

Imitation.

Body.—Fawn-colored mohair, tied on silk of the same color.

Wings.—Feather of a yellow-brown hen’s wing, rather darker than the thrush feather. To lie flat.

Legs.—A ginger hackle.

The pinnated grouse’s small wing-feather, dyed a pale cinnamon with madder and copperas, is an excellent feather for the wings of this fly, and of No. 34.
