Dave, Here are the directions from the book "Spey Flies & Dee Flies" This is a great book by the way. 1 begin by attaching one end of the gut or dacron to the far side of the shank, just behind the end of the front taper. Use half a dozen tight thread wraps 2. Begin bindng this first strand to the shank whit neat, compact thread wraps, going back about a third or half the way down the shank 3. reverse direction s and spiral the tread forward, and begin binding downt the second strand on your side of the shank. 4. continue rearward with the tread making tight adjacent warps of thread 5. well back on the hook shank, ray the ends and stager cut them to create a smooth taper 6.bind downthe grayed ends again using neat tight thread wraps 7. coat the wrapping whit an adhesive and allow to dry. test the loop for Strength before dressing the fly.
