Legs.—A furnace, or red and black hackle.
No. 19. The Turkey Brown.
This ephemera is common to most of the waters of New York, and is found on nearly all the Long Island ponds, where it is eagerly taken by the trout. It appears about the middle of April, and changes to a little dark spinner, which is a most killing fly just before dusk.
Imitation.
Body.—Brown mohair ribbed with purple silk. The female is of a greenish brown.
Tail.—Two fibres of the same feather as the wings.
Wings.—Of the brown mottled feather from the back of a ruffed grouse.
Legs.—A red-brown hackle.
No. 20. The Little Dark Spinner.
This is the perfect, or Imago, state of the turkey brown (No. 19) just described. It is as fragile as it is beautiful, and can hardly be touched without maiming or killing it.
