Makes perfect sense Byron, sure it will do the job. The wing on that photo is a little on the long side. Usually it doesn't go beyond the end of the body. It may be an idea to try tying your dressing on a curved shank hook. Though I know waters here where that fly tied on a curved shank hook would be banned as a wet fly!
Something I often do if I want a trailing shuck is tie a knot in the shuck material to keep it together at the back. It means the shuck is a little more solidly defined.
Enjoy Henry's Fork.
Cheers,
