These featherwing streamers or Rangeley style streamers from the early 1920's are a style of streamers that I've come to appreciate more and more as I have been reading about them. Carrie Stevens comes to mind when you think about streamers like the Gray Ghost. Read about the story of Carrie Stevens in Mike Valla's book The Founding flies. The need for different types of feathers to tie these streamers does mean some new investments.
Here's a nice video about Scott Biron, a fly tier that tries to pass on the tradition of tying featherwing streamers.
