Better explanation
Sorry, I can't do pictures. I tie in a spool of clear monofilament thread on a bobbin after I finish the fly but before forming the tapered head. Let the bobbin hang behind your vice. Form the head and put the eyes on using their sticky backing . Wrap the mono thread forward to the eyes and carefully trap them under the thread with several turns and then wrap to the eye of the hook and whip finish. I usually give the head a final coat of sally hansens after that. I use a spool of clear sewing thread. I can't remember where I saw this recommended, but I've done it and it works. I imagine you could do the same thing if you put the eyes on before the tapered head but I've never personally tried it.

I can think of few acts more selfish than refusing a vaccination.
