Since first seeing this fly in one of my books, I have been intrigued by its simplicity and uniqueness.

I do have a question about the step instructions. Perhaps I could figure this out if I were actually at the vise tying one of these, but how does one tie a whip knot at the back with the tag end of the thread, when the front end of the thread is hanging from a bobbin behind the eye of the hook. Perhaps I could tie a few half-hitches right on the shank by threading the end of the thread under a couple of the wraps and adding a bit of glue, but I can't figure how to do a whip knot.
