Martin

Tag - Gold tinsel *
Tail - Yellow and black – married **
Ribbing - Gold tinsel
Body - Yellow floss
Hackle - Deep yellow
Wing - Widgeon or gray mallard ***

Trout - Ray Bergman

Don Bastian Notes

* The gold tinsel tag is not listed in the Trout recipe, but it is visible on the color plate.
** The written recipe for the tail is ‘yellow and black-alternate.’ Differing from the usual listing for a married tail, Dr. Burke’s painting indicates a separation at the end of the tail, revealing a married tail of yellow and black with left and right sides.
*** The wing may also be teal.

That’s my dropper on N. Georgia pocket water. I use brown beads but that looks amazing. I add a piece of flash on the collar.
