Default Teeny Nymph

I have been trying to tie the Jim Teeny Nymph and seem to run into
the same problem. I tie on the pheasant tail, wrap it clockwise
around the shank, but then the problems arise. By the time I get
the tail to the mid shank point the tail fibers are a twisted mess.
Trying to fold the fibers back to the hook point and tie it off is
darn near impossible as my fingers get stuck in the point. I
figured I would hide the hook point in the jaws of the vice, but
trying to even grab ahold of the fibers is difficult. Hackle pliers
won't hold the fibers. Same problem exists when I finish the nymph
with the second bunch of tail fibers that are wrapped to the eye. Any
ideas? Thanks

I forgot to add. It is under "Trips&Tips", and at the bottom of this page
"Tying Teeny Nymphs".
