I've been trying to tie up some SHWAPFs like Al Campbell shows in his beginning fly tying series. He says in step 7 to "Try to get the hair to flair completely and evenly around the fly." I'm having a hard time with that. The hair keeps getting in my way when I tie off and mostly the hair is all on top of the hook. If any of you guys have any tips on that, I'd appreciate it. Maybe I'm not holding my mouth right and all I need is more practice, but it seems like it should be an easy tie, but I'm getting frustrated with it.

thanks in advance,
