PENNELL STREAM MINNOW-SPINNING FLIGHT. 



To bait it all that is needed is to push the lead quite down 

 into the bait's belly,* closing the lips with the lip-hook. The 

 upper triangle is then inserted through the bait's back behind 

 the dorsal fin, so as to crook or bend it into the position shown 

 in the cut, or until a brilliant spin is obtained. 



I notice that since this tackle was first brought out it has been 

 included in several of the Tackle-Makers' catalogues, so that I 

 presume they have found it more or less approved of. Messrs. 

 Farlow make a speciality of this, and of the preceding flight. 



Of Artificial Minnows a bare catalogue would occupy many 

 pages. Of these the major part are of brass or silvered and gilded 

 metal and some half golden, and half silver, plain or painted. 

 They are for the most part variations of the well known Devon 

 Minnow, which in my experience still takes a good deal of beat- 

 ing. There can be no doubt, however, that the two flying-triangles 



* To facilitate this the short link to which the lead is attached should be 

 stiff -the gut-loop being lapped over with waxed silk, right up to the lead.
