Flatwing streamers are tied with medium-length saddle or neck hackles on a horizontal plane so that, when fished, they have an undulating, side-to-side motion that makes them very enticing to predatory fish.
Every serious angler should have a couple of these in his arsenal of effective flies.
Average length is from 5"-6".
