Here is a link to the method I ussually use. The demo is on a wet fly, but I use the same for nymphs.

Tie them back from the eye a few mm. After I tie in the fibers, I wrap between the eye and the watse ends to help seperate them from the eye. This helps prevent a bulky head as well. Hope that helps a bit. Darren On 5/23/07, Chuck Alexander <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Can anybody tell me the "secret" of tying in beards on small, down eye nymph hooks?? Say, a size 12 and smaller hook. An easy way to do it???.. if there is an easy way??? Thanks, Chuck
