Here is how I tie hears ear nymphs I start with hears mask like in these pictures. I always wrap up and over the hook so not to confuse myself when tying. I also use a lock wrap to add thread by wrapping forward three wraps then 5 back over those three this locks it off the lock warp don’t have to be 3 then 5 they can be 6 then 8 by the way.

If you look were the scissors are pointing is the area where I get the tail from for the hears ear nymph aprox right up against the ears .


I tie it in tips pointing back like so.

Then I tie in the tinsel ribbing


Next I clip some mask fibers from the back between the ears that looks like this and I clip threw it and mix it with my index finger against my palm kind of like what a coffee grind would do if you put it in it.


Next I offer up a very small amount to the thread like in pic there may only be 3-5 hair in it. This makes a dubbing rope this way and packs it tight like in the nest pictures.
