PALMERS FOR THE FISHING SEASON. lit 



No. 45. RED PALMER. 



This is the caterpillar of the Arctia caga or 

 Tiger Moth. I have found this palmer more 

 abundantly than any other early in the Spring, 

 and can recommend use of it to be made as soon 

 as the water is fit for fishing after a flood ; also on 

 windy days. 



IMITATION. 



Peacock herl with a red cock's hackle wrapped 

 over it, and tied with dark brown silk thread. 



No. 46. BROWN PALMER. 



This is the caterpillar of the Spilosoma lubrice- 

 peda, or common Ermine Moth. 



It will catch fish throughout the fishing season, 

 and may be used with most success after a flood 

 and on windy days. 



IMITATION. 



Mulberry-coloured worsted spun on brown silk 

 thread, and a brown stained cock's hackle wrapped 

 over the whole of it.
