I believe the milk bottle fly is the Jersey Herd.
Thanks, Paul,
Yes, that is the fly I remember. Here are some links:

and a better picture: http://www.info-fx.com/vfb/jerseyherd.jpg
The peacock herl is use for the tail, overbody/shellback, and head. They are now using gold mylar tinsel for the body as the milk bottle caps are probably long gone!
Come to think of it, I like the looks of this fly, and will tie a few for the coming season.
