The Ray Bergman Collection – 12) Babcock

Tip: Gold tinsel
Tail: Black and yellow married
Ribbing: Gold tinsel
Body: Crimson floss
Hackle: Black
Wing: Black stripe over yellow; (may be married). *

* The original Babcock wing dressing was full sections of yellow quill with a separate black stripe over. ‘Black stripe over yellow’ is the actual ingredient listing and would seem to indicate thusly. This would be a mixed wing, rather than a married wing. Despite the traditional dressing I usually tie the Babcock with a married wing as shown.
