Have you considered laying the wing back and trimming it to a wing shape. A Smhaen style wing would also look great on that pattern. I like all of your work.

What is your opinion on using wee wool for the body?

Nice tie of an interesting pattern. But it begs a long standing question from other videos: if your gonna trim hackle underneath, then why use you're very best dry fly hackle? Pay big money for herbert miner neck or saddle only to cut it off after wrapping.
