JULY
The range given above for June
can be used for July. A most important addition, however, occurs during
July, and that is a small fly which becomes very numerous during the
rest of the season. This fly is represented by the famous Clyde style
CRAN SWALLOW. The CRAN SWALLOW is a fabulous little fly and will take a
great toll of trout on either river or loch.
AUGUST
Repeat patterns for the previous
months using the flies which give the best results in a particular
locality. Another good fly for August is the MAVIS & BLACK.
SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER
As the month advances return
again to those flies for the beginning of the season
