Troxit Flies 137 



Favorite Flies. Mary Orvis Marbury's wonderful 

 volume on artificial flies and fly-fishing, and 130 of 

 them declared the Brown Hackle their favorite pattern. 

 " I had supposed that the Red Hackle was an imitation 

 of the small red caterpillar, but the veteran Nessmuk 

 affirms that it resembles nothing below or above. It is 

 his favorite bug, and that settles the question." 

 H. C. Wilcox, Favorite Flies.
