It is crucial that the hook is secure, we use vice in modern times to hold the hook tight. The best vice is a rotary type vice as the hook shank rotates along its access making it easier to tie the fly.
It does not matter if a fur or feather is used for winging it is important the wing sits vertical and allows the fly to move straight when pulled through the water. Wings twist often when tied in. Father wing slips will often spit. Use a winging loop to help alleviate these problems.
