flytire 0 Report post Posted April 20 Babcock Hook - Wet fly Thread - Black Tip - Gold tinsel Tail - Black and yellow married Ribbing - Gold tinsel Body - Crimson floss Hackle - Black Wing - Black stripe over yellow; (may be married). * Don Bastian note * 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.

Capt Bob LeMay 0 Report post Posted April 20 One of my anglers asked about the patterns we're using for peacock bass locally - here's a sampling ranging from as small as a #2 - all the way up to a 2/0 for the "clousers".. The small maribou fly is a Crystal Schminnow in size #4... most in my area consider that a clouser is more of a tying style than a specific pattern... I have a tying sequence that I'll post separately... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
