Originally known as "The Highlander" in Francis Francis but there was no green in the Francis "Highlander",later there was "The Green Highlander" listed in Kelson's book. Also the olive green mohair of Francis developed into the green Seal's fur in Major Grant pattern (1860) in Kelson. This dressing requires green swan in the wing. The modern version of the famous fully dressed pattern uses hair-wing. It mixes colours of the bucktail to form the wing rather than the feathers of the now endangered exotic birds of the original. There are and have been very few green classic salmon flies, green flies never became popular in Great Britain in times past unlike today.

Carrie Stevens created the 'Grey Ghost' (Gray Ghost) in 1924 to imitate a smelt. It has been used successfully for Salmon and seatrout on both sides of the Atlantic. It is reputed that Carrie was a ladies' hat maker (milliner), and in her trade worked with exotic feathers which must have helped her in later profession as a splendid and imaginative fly tier. She dressed her flies without the help of a vice. The fly is one of the Rangeley-style of feather-wing streamers, meaning that the pattern not only comes from the Rangeley Lakes region of Maine but also is tied using a certain technique. For example, Rangelely-style flies incorporate the use of preassembled wings tied in at the head of the fly.
