Hi I am new to fly tying and need some help;
After I have spun my dubbing on the thread, I often find it is too long and I need to remove some, if I just pull it back it sometime leaves a tail of material sticking out - is there a better way to do this? or a way to accurately judge how much I will need?
I realize that with years of practice my length of dubbing will be perfect every time.

Great site and I enjoy reading the informative posts here.

thanks
Dan
