September, and during the whole of the winter, the fish bite best in the warmth of the day, when no wind is stirring and the air quite clear. During the summer months the morning and the evening are the best, or in cool, cloudy weather. Fish rise best at the fly after a shower that has not raisecV the mud of the river, but which has beaten the gnats and flies into the water. The best months for the fly are March, A pril, May, and part of June. In the cooler months, in the warmest time of the day, or in warm weather about nine in the morning, or three in the afternoon, if a gentle breeze be blowing, AT rout bites best in dark, cloudy, windy weather, early in the morning, from about eight to ten, and in the afternoon, from three to four.
