I think you have done well.

Only suggestion I'd make is make your abdomen a bit longer other then that looks good

Thanks. Must be a super precise personal preference from person to person. Ha.

It depends upon which species you are trying to imitate. Mayfly nymphs vary to having an abdomen the same length as the thorax to twice that.

I believe that dog'l hunt! Nice work!

If I were a fish I'd eat it.

I'd eat it, and I am not even a fish.

There are proportions in nature that we try to imitate as fly tyers. Is it useful and a fish catcher? Yes. Is it a good first attempt? Yes. Keep at it and maintain proper proportion of the thorax and abdomen.

Are my proportions great always? Heck no. But I try to get better with every fly. They say it takes 100x of a pattern to master it. 99 to go.

Good luck!

It's a great looking fly and I hope it catches fish for you!

Yes sir! We as flytyers often get hung up on proportions. There is certainly nothing wrong with that! Most times I tend to think the fish are less critical than we are of our ties. There are times, however, that fish can become ultra selective when proportions of a particular species of insect can be critical. Very nice tie. Keep up the good work!
