How to tie a Paraloop Emerger

If I add this one to my fly boxes that will be one more than I had before I opened it, I do not like them. Still, one of the advantages of Paraloop flies is that there is no hackle below the hook shank, which is ideal for hookups. That said its the same with a Parachute style fly and they are a lot less faff.
The other great benefit of the technique is the profile of the fly: because of the absence of hackle below the hook shank Paraloop flies sit low in or on the water. That is considered a plus, especially for emergers.
As with much of my tying I did not have the right tools for the job but pressed on and made do.
