Excerpt from Fly-Fishers' Ephemeridæ: Being an Analysis of the British Ephemeridæ as at Present Known to Science, Extracted, Mostly From the Works of Other People, for the Benefit of Such Members of the Fly-Fishers' Club as May Care to Use ItThe males have no inducement to take them to the water to meet their end, and when a spent male is found on the surface he is only there because he happened to be flying over the water at the moment his strength gave out. This is the reason why males are met with so much less frequently than females, and it is well for an angler who has picked up a spent male to be sure that he has not chanced upon an odd one, while the fish are really feeding on the much more numerous females.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
