Default Tying Nymphs - curved or straight hooks?


Mark, that's a very neat web site. I do have Hughes' "Wet Flies" and I
like the ideas of flymphs and soft hackles a lot. Many of the flies I
tie have soft hackles. I also noticed that when you tie yours on curved
hooks, the body is rather short (exeption is your black star). I was
wondering if that is some sort of a rule to keep the body short or if
that is just a personal preference?
