The length of hair for the wing is equal to the length of the hook shank. In general, that is the distance measured from a point just behind the eye, to a point on the hook shank directly above the barb of the hook.
The line above, marks the point on the hair that will tied in as the wing. Next, move the hair to the right so as to be directly above the thread.
