Deacon

Hackle - Yellow tied palmer

                                                   Body - Yellow floss, dubbing, or wool *

Throat - Scarlet (soft-hackle collar) **

Wing - Gray mallard

Trout - Ray Bergman

Don Bastian Note

* The body component on the recipe listing states only "yellow" so various acceptable materials are listed here.

** The throat hackle as shown on the plate painting is wound as a collar; Burke’s painting indicates scarlet fibers sweeping back above and below the hook eye.
