Tony: I think I will end up using the raccoon mask hairs, cause i tried and
tried and just could not come up with a tail at all.. You are right.. If I
SAW somebody do it in person, i could probably do it then, Thanks, Chuck

Subject: Re: [VFB] Hare's Mask Tail Hairs
The tail on the GRHE is very short, it taks a bit of
learning on how to handle the short hair from the
mask.
Use what you will for this swap, have someone show you
at the Sowbug how this is done. Hope you will make it.

Folks: I'm starting to think that the Hare's Mask I
bought came with a "crew cut" LOL... I was trying to
start tying the Gold Bead Hare's Ear Nymphs tonight,
and I cut up my dubbing, and it came out good. But
when i started trying to get some tail hair from the
Mask, they are sooo short, I can't even grip them
to comb out all that underfur in my fangers.. Is the
fly still called a Hare's Ear Nymph if I use
"raccoon mask" guard hairs for the tail??? LOL..
Thanks, Chuck
Wait.. I just went back and read Jimi's post here
in red, so with the Any variation, I guess raccoon
tail is OK , but, if I wanted to use the hare's ear
hairs for a tail, how do I get them long enough?? Or
did I just get a real short haired mask like I
said???
"15 flies, any variation or size of the Hares Ear.
Due date end of February?"
