That looks like the Rapala loop. Easy enough, but it could be tuff to make the loop smaller. I like tiny loops so that the knot doesn't cause an unnatural wake infront of the fly.
Mine is the old, thread fly, make a loop with line and tag big enough to feed the fly through twice. Now here is the trick. holding the loop in the left hand, put the eye of the hook in the middle of the loop and touch your middle finger on you left hand. Slowly tighten and when it is arouns the eye of the hook, pull on the fly and the tag and line. Tighten by pulling the tag and the tippet. You can get real small loops this way.
