Will's Comments
This is a variation on the Magog
Deceiver. The flattail configuration allows the color-layering in the
wing to extend the length of the fly, into the tail.
I was introduced to this flattail style in Ray Bondorew's Striped-Bass
streamers. In addition to allowing vertical layering of colors the length
of the fly, this style has wonderful action in the water and presents a
wider silhouette when viewed from below.
