The White Moths, or Millers, are excellent flies for moon- 

 light evenings, or at dusk. They may be pure white, or 

 all white with yellow body, or all white with gray wings. 

 The bodies should be made full and fluffy. 



The hacTcles and palmers are made with -bodies of vari- 

 ous hues, as black, green, red, or yellow, or peacock harl, 

 with either black, red, brown, yellow or gray legs. A 

 pure white hackle is very killing about dark. A most 

 excellent hackle is made from the hairs of a deer's tail, 

 somewhat in the fashion of the " bob," so extensively used 

 in Florida and Texas. 



■The three " typical " hackles of Mr. H. Cholmondely- 

 Pennell, and which he recommends to the exclusion of all 

 other flies, are described as follows: 



Green. — Dark green body; very dark green hackle for 

 both legs and whisk. 



Brown. — Body, dark orange ; fiery or cinnamon-brown 

 hackle for legs and whisk.
