All Feather Streamer
Bob Popovics has posted a feather wing streamer on another site. It is made entirely of feathers and creates a fine fusiform. He doesn't explain how to make it so I made it my way. I added a black marabou throat and flash to the tail to his model. I made it with a tail and three collars of saddles spaced along the shank.
Hook: EC 253 3/0
Thread: Black
Tail: 2 strands purple flash, 2 strand black crystal flash surrounding the shank (trim 1 1/2" longer than tail) under 4 purple saddles surround bottom 2/3 of shank and 2 black saddles on the top 1/3 (choose saddles that are of irregular lengths)
Collar #1: 3 purple saddles surrounding bottom 2/3, 2 black saddles on top 1/3
Collar #2: 3 purple saddles surrounding bottom 2/3, 2 black saddles on top 1/3
Collar#3: 3 shorter purple saddles surrounding bottom 2/3, 2 shorter black saddles on top 1/3
Throat: Black marabou
Eyes: Jungle Cock
