I tie in one side, then hold the hook up there behind the fly, leave 1/4" longer than the total length of the hook, tie in the other side, wrap it tight.
No, I never tie on tubes. A few years ago I put some tubes in front of flies to make the winter profile bigger. Lost a fish because the tube must have spun and roughed up the line.
