SALMON FISHING WITH THE FL K 221 



[NOTES BY THE EDITOR.] 



To Major Traherne's capital selection of standard flies I should be dis- 

 posed to add half a dozen patterns which in my own experience I have 

 found to be generally ' good killers ' on the salmon rivers of the United 

 Kingdom. The descriptive formulae of these flies are by Mr. Charles 

 Farlow. 191 Strand. 



THE 'BEAUFORT MOTH.' 



Tag : Gold tinsel ; Tail : Golden pheasant topping ; Body : Bronze 

 peacock lierl, ribbed with gold tinsel ; Hackle, Throat : Red cock's (throat 

 hackle only) ; Wings: Two small white hen feathers ; Head: Peacock herl. 



This fly will be found very useful during the last hours of daylight if 

 fish are shy. It has never failed to kill on any river on which it has been 

 tried in England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Canada, and Labrador. 



THE ORIGINAL 'SILVER WILKINSON.' 



Tag: Silver tinsel; Tail: Golden pheasant topping, and short tippet 

 feather; Butt : Scarlet pigswool ; Body: Silver tinsel ribbed with silver 

 oval or twist ; Hackles : Light blue at shoulder, with magenta over it ; 

 ^Ving: Under, two strips of Canadian wood duck feather barr'd, and a few 

 fibres of red macaw ; two long jungle cock feathers, and two short ditto ; 

 three golden pheasant toppings, and short tippet feather, tied in whole (not 

 as a hackle), overall; Checks: Blue chatterer; Horns: Blue and yellow 

 macaw ; Head : Black ostrich herl. 



An excellent fly on a bright day, but the strongest point in its success
