238 FLY-FISHING. 



Imitation. 



Body. — ^Peacock's herl, with a red cock's hackle 

 wrapped the whole length, and tied with red silk. 



Ronalds's palmers are made long, and have a 

 second hook tied in about half way up the body. It 

 is a killing fly in streams, and of little use in ponds 

 in the United States. 



No. 37. The BKOWif Palmer. 



The preceding remarks on the red palmer apply 

 equally to this and the succeeding description. The 

 white and yellow are equally successful on wooded 

 streams, and they all may be used through the 

 season. 



Imitation. 



Body. — Light brown mohair spun on brown silk, 

 and a brown cock's hackle wrapped all the way up. 



No. 38. The Black and Red Palmer. 

 Imitation. 



Body. — Black ostrich herl, ribbed with gold 

 twist, and a red cock's hackle wrapped over it. 



The feather at the shoulder should be a large fur- 

 nace hackle, and the herl should be thickest there. 

 Show the gold twist clearly at the tail.
