Does anyone know or have a link on how you wrap like 2 different color wires up the abdomen for like a copper john.
 
What about woven flies? Is that what you are after?

When Barr ties his copper Johns he ties in two pieces of wire. One on each side of the hook and wraps his thread to the back and then forward, he then grasps both wires together and wraps them forward to the tie down point. With two colors of wire it would alternate like you show in the example..
 
You just tie in both materials at the bend....wrap your thread up the shank...tie in chenille and secure where you stopped the thread...wrap the wire and secure again...pretty much the same as this...
