Pattern Note:  Seems to be a variant of Bert Quimby’s Galloping Ghost streamer, as described in Bates, Joseph D ,Jr. Streamer Fly Tying and Fishing. Galloping Ghost differs as it has silver tag, red tail, orange body with silver embossed tinsel, throat is more orange than yellow, and wing has only 2 Bali duck feathers. Note Galloping Ghost is a variant of Jesse Wood, which has embossed tinsel body and furnace throat, red tail
