Ray, Did you split the yarn?
A forum to discuss tying and fishing wingless wet flies and other soft hackle fly patterns

Thanks Ray. The link helped.letumgo wrote: ↑Sat Apr 17, 2021 8:34 pm The hackle is tyed in by the stem, right behind the eye of the hook. The tying thread hangs at the back of the thorax, after the herl is wrapped. I then wrap the hackle back over the thorax, in open spiral turns. The tying thread is wound forward thru the hackle fibers, reinforcing both the herl and hackle. Very easy way to make very durable fishing flies.
You can see the steps in this tutorial (another rock worm pattern):
