American angler's guide : or, complete fisher's manual, for the United States: containing the opinions and practices of experienced anglers of both hemispheres ; with the addition of a second Fishing. 104 THE TROl or ginger hackle ; wings, the light part of a pheasant's wing. Hook No. 9. Coch-a-bonddu. This fly is a well known favorite throughout the United Kingdom, though not always under the same name. The cock that furnishes the peculiarly mixed deep and red black feather, necessary to make this fly, is in great estimation.
