Hi Mike,

These streamers have very slim profiles in the directions orthogonal
to the large silhouette - could this help in casting? (Still looking
for a reason why experienced fly fishermen would call these good
streamers for lightweight gear.)



Isn't the Gray Ghost a Rangley style? I've never had any problem casting a
size 8 on a 5-wt. I don't know if you can push it to 4.

If you don't ridiculously load up on the floss body, you really aren't
casting much more than the hook. Pretty slim profile. The wings are
feathers and herl, but not particulary thick and heavy-- Arranged to give
large profile without much bulk
