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

I think it is. But size 8 is pretty standard for a 5wt anyhow, so I
wouldn't expect any problems there.

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

That's what I thought too.

Decided to also harass people on the fly tying forum

http://flytyingforum.com/

because I noticed that they have a feather streamer swap going on.
