@SilverCreekYou are absolutely right, it is still extremely difficult for me to estimate the proportions of the flies. Thank you for all the helpful pages. For my first question in the forum, I am really surprised at the nice answers I have received. Tobi

@niveker @cphubertthank you for your answers. It helps me a lot. The problem was, that I had a hook shank length in my head as a reference and tied them all according to that, and only realized later that it was clearly too long. cphubert thanks for the link, it is also very helpful.

Dear members, I'm new to this forum as well as fly tying. I've got a question about trimming too long tails from nymphs. Does this make a difference for the fish or do these nymphs catch worse? I have attached a picture. Thank you in advance. Tobi
