80 HACKLES. 



The grey partridge is useful, but not as generally 



so as the brown one, which will 

 Nos. 37-38. kill with or without a wing and with 



almost any coloured body, where 



the trout are not over educated. 

 Nos. 39-40. From the back and underwing 



of the woodcock ; they are used both 



as hackle or wing feathers. 

 No. 41. The brown owl, used as a hackle 



imitation of a Caddis-fly. 

 Nos. 42-43-44. These are grouse hackles of very 



varied colour, and all useful. 

 No. 45. This is a landrail hackle of very 



useful colour, as are almost all the 



feathers on this bird. 

 No. 46. The curlew, much used for hackle 



flies on the moors where the bird 



abounds. 

 No. 47. The golden plover, also useful, 



the contrast between the yellow 



and the dark ash colour, making 



fine speckled legs. 

 No. 48. The ibis, used for tags, heads, and 



tails, and on occasion, legs, when 



a freak is wanted. 

 The small parakeet, which is a fine insect green, 



and sometimes takes both trout and 

 No. 49. grayling when they are skittish 



and refuse more commonplace diet. 

 No, 50, The peewit crest ; very useful when a 



long fine hackle is desired.
