Belgrade

 


Belgrade

Tail - Crimson and white married

Butt - Black chenille*

Hackle - Claret tied palmer

Ribbing - Gold tinsel

Body - Yellow wool or dubbing

Wing - White with scarlet stripe, married, jungle cock eye

Don Bastian Note

*Refer to the Academy and Adirondack recipe notes for reference on the tip and butt as noted above.
The Belgrade is very similar to another Maine pattern, the Parmachene Belle. The Belgrade has a butt of black chenille while the Parmachene Belle is tied with a black ostrich herl butt, though that is not the only difference.
