Note: This fly has actual movement, perceived movement, and curious light-refracting qualities, most of which is due to the curious mylar material. Since the Mirage blends in with its surroundings well, it makes a fly tied with it a good fit in many places. The movement of the Raccoon and spey hackle is considerably enticing as well.
