Byron,

Kudos on your flies. They looks great.

Your are correct in that the dun/emerger paraloop has no wing case over the hackle. However, other paraloop patterns do use a tied over thorax.

Chapter 10 of Ian Moutter's book, Tying Flies the Paraloop Way, shows Jim Cramer, a member of Flyfish@ at the time of the fly swap. His version of the Borger Braided Butt Damsel uses the paraloop hackle with a pulled over thorax over the paraloop hackle.

It was Hans Weilenman who put Jim Cramer in contact with Ian, and I think Jim got the idea for the braided butt damsel from the Flyfish@ Fly Swap.

Other paraloop patterns do have the thorax tied over the paraloop hackle. This is how Ian ties spinner patterns, crane flies, and other patterns that have splayed wings.
