About this fly
The original Matuka pattern originated in New Zealand in the 1880s. From my understanding the feathers of certain native birds were a useful resemblance to the koaro, namely the kiwi and bittern for the Matuka streamer. The pattern has since come to mean a style of streamer with the feather wing lashed to the hook with a rib of some type.
