Thanks! Sorry I didn't use any YouTube vids but I'm sure it's out there maybe, this technique is called spring leaf or something like that.
What I did with mine is to cut rabbit strip in half lengthwise, take the hair off. Ready some thread knots, fold, cinch tie and glued with flex uv resin.

Dave’s Mistake
Steelhead
David McNeese, 1987
Tag - Silver flat tinsel
Tail - Purple hackle fibers or purple-dyed golden pheasant crest, topped with fruit crow
Rib - Silver oval tinsel
Body - Red dubbing
Hackle - Purple
Wing - White polar bear hair or bucktail
Cheeks - Jungle cock
Note: Substitutes for the rare and expensive fruit crow (aka Indian fruit crow) include white feathers from the neck of a ringneck pheasant dyed a pale tan-yellow and then tip-dyed with bright red; these are troublesome to create and require expertise in dying feathers. Much simpler is to simply use a small red feather, including those taken from a dyed-red hen’s neck.
