The Angler's Flies 147 



green ; feet, peacock herl and red hackle ; 

 wings, gray, mottled with brown. 



And all of the patterns mentioned as 

 being appropriate for April. 



JUNE 



In June some of the gayest-colored flies 

 may be used. During March and April 

 the dark and dull-colored patterns are the 

 most effective, but, so soon as the warm

 are my favorites : 



Brown Hen. Body, peacock herl, with 

 red silk tag ; wings, brown mottled ; legs, 

 brown hackle. 



Dark Stone. Body, dark brown; feet, 

 yellow brown ; wings, luteous. 



Hawthorne. Body, shining black ; 

 feet and head, black; wings, bright 

 hyaline. 



Shoemaker. Body, ringed alternately 

 with light and gray salmon; feet, dark
