Del-
The Spey and Dee styles are obviously very similar to
the flatwing styles you're showing. Spey wings are
kind of "tented" over the body and Dee wings spread
out in a "V" shape. Regarding the Ken Abrames style
flies, the only thing I can think of is that the
hackles (wings) are tied more or less flat on the
shank. They're not posted or lifted up off the shank.
Maybe Deborah can shed some light on it.

You move and change,I move and am the same;
You move and are gone, I move and remain.
