Always surprised when I see someone tying with the thread in the “opposite “ direction. It looks so awkward, but obviously, each to his own. I do wonder though, why you don’t wind the materials in the same direction? It’s inherently more secure, i.e. tightening the thread automatically tightens the material, whereas if they’re going in opposite directions, tightening the thread will, if anything, loosen the turns of material. Not life-threatening, but it does puzzle me.

PS Very nice fly. Sadly we don’t have wood ducks here, it’s a lovely feather. Is there an established way to dye mallard flank or teal a convincing shade?

I started tying using a book that simply said wrap towards you. That was the extent of the knowledge shared. So I wrapped towards me. Turns out pretty much everyone else wrapped the opposite direction. But to answer the question about the wrapping of material I do wrap both ways but tend to stick with what’s comfortable. I don’t have really any issues with material coming out just because I almost always double the material or stem back over so that it’s locked in both ways. However if I’m wanting to tie a “wall hanger “ I will wrap the same direction or opposite of the thread to help stop the trapping of hackle. Good question. I just tie goofy footed.

You could absolutely get away with using dyed mallard

You could absolutely use a bead for the head if you want to.
