The
few established streamer patterns (Bali Streamer, Jess Wood, Galloping
Ghost) that use Bali feathers as a wing, seem to have perhaps
used them stripped on one side to give the wing a light top and
dark bottom half and a low profile (though Bergman hints in 'Trout'
that the Bali Streamer may have been a flatwing design). The variation
shown here uses the whole feather, tied in typical upright streamer
wing |
