[Mac10]

If the craft or natural hair is long enough, you can tie it on with an equal length sticking on the front and then after 4 wraps of thread, bend it back and wrap some more. This bent hair is locked in. If tying with bucktail hair which is thinner at the rear end of the fly, tie it on the jig with 4 wraps, cut off the front excess with a slanted cut by pulling the hair upright in front of the wraps, then cutting with the scissors slanted down so it's tapering the hair down towrard the ball head....then, apply some nail polish or head cement to the tapered hair and wrap with thread. This cementing will hold the hairs in place once the cement dries.
