Pete, That's not a Wally-Wing, but somewhat similar. It's a single hackle piece tied down, then the fly front is dubbed and hackled, and then the wing-fibers brought forward and tied down, bending the stem as shown. Hackle selection is important, as brittle hackle stems won't be very durable, and shape is dictated by stem stiffness and taper.
If you want to learn perfection in Wally Wings from another vfb'er, get with Martin Westbeek.
