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. โBlack stripe over yellowโ 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. Trout - Ray Bergman

i'm not gonna speculate or try to decipher what the authors are trying to convey in a few sentences written almost 60 years ago, but i do know that Mustad hooks way back then were notorious for having a gap at the hook eye to the hook shank. maybe fill the gap could be assumed? back then mustad and partridge were the big hook manufacturers
