Size 8 TMC7999 and folded wing

Will be fishing folded wings since paired winging materials are scarce and my winging skills are underdeveloped.

The open topic is a good one. I have watched from videos on matching and folding the wing material, and both ways look great. Clyde style flies have intimidated me solely because of the wings until I watched Davie McPhail fold the wings. I haven't tried it yet, but I'll get there soon enough.

The video shared on page 2 of this post I put in my favorite list so I can practice that technique too. Thanks for sharing that video by the way.
