    Question Stayner Ducktails

    When tying a Stayner Ducktail streamer the pics always show a side view. I feel uncertain about how widely the flat wrapped flank feather barbs should be allowed to "splay out" across the top. Should they spread out widely or be confined into a tighter bunch? Comments please.

    At the end of the video the fly is rotated to see the wing

    I tie mine about the same as I do for this wire-bodied 88 Streamer

    Funny I came across this pattern in the "Northwoods Sporting Journal" a few years ago. Looked nice and now I have a video to watch.
