That is the epitome simple elegance. I seek that in flies. I have tied some similar and they work well. I really love old style wet flies-dries as well. Nice work and clip. :-)
I was just gifted a bag of tying materials that were collecting dust, and in it was a big bag of nice wood duck feathers. I will definitely use a few of them to tie this fly!
I find Veevus to be very "grippy". Probably because it's very thin, has a good bit of texture and perhaps most importantly has a little stretch to it. Anyway, I like it for wets like this where the wing(s) and the hackle collar are tied in close proximity.

My ordered fly tying stuff including some wood duck is sitting in Memphis 😄

I like using wood duck for the tail. Gives the tail life.
