Try spraying a tiny bit of Krylon Workable Fixatif on the wing of the fly. It will help keep the wing in together longer, but not permanantly. That is a delicate fly, for flat water, and delicate presentations.
If you want a pattern equally (or even better in my experience) effective for the same applications, look for a caddis with a CDC wing. CDC will las longer than the mallard quill or turkey quills used on similar patterns, and all you need to do is dry it to keep it floating.
I carry only elk hairs and CDC patterns now. No more quill wings.
