Default How to tell what size fly?


"gary3594" wrote in message
...

Still a beginner but trying to venture out without a guide. I know the
tippet/leader/line/rod needs to be sized appropriately to fly size but
I can't tell what size flies are in my box. Can't find anything on the
internet like a hook size chart.

Is there a easy way to tell what size fly while on the stream?

I remember a pocket gauge that was about when I was young ( about 45 years
ago) sooner or later experience will tell you which size hook you are
holding meantime something like this
http://www.flyfishusa.com/fly-tying/hackle-gauge.htm could help and is handy
for beginning fly tieing.
