You could tie the feather in the opposite way around and use the head to turn the tip back to form a wing after winding it.
    Alan,

    Rather than a Clyde style pattern, this sounds more like a Glanrhos design.

    Here is a sample in that style:



    And here is a link to the video where I tie up the pattern - as always, please view in HD, if able:

    A much underutilized design and patterns, btw, these Glanrhos flies. They work well as a standard winged wet, but also fished 'dry' in the film.

    Cheers,
    Hans W

    I bow to your knowledge Hans. Like I said I've come across this style but know little about them. Could we have the recipe for that one please. That dubbing looks very interesting. I think, for here, a touch of red mixed through it would work well, our waters are on the acidic side.

    Notable though that the hackle on that is a head hackle. I'm not sure about the way it would look with more of a thorax hackle as is called for on a Stewart Spider.

    Cheers,
    A.

    There is a quick way to find out just that, Alan. Go for it

    To digress slightly, I love this forum.
