I'll work on that! Gotta find that bluegill222!!!

try searching on mustads website. They used to have a print out for each style of hook they sell that has a sillohette of every size they sell in that style. Try looking up 94840 for dry fly hooks. I only use their signature series now so I forget the other hooks. But they should have some of what you are looking for. Other hook manufacturers should have similar pages on their websites. Good luck.

Here is somewhere to start anyway. Print the pages, I bet that in hard copy the hook images are life size. See if your #16 hook matches any of theirs - and work on from there. If you are using Mustad there is a bit of a disadvantage since they have changed their line. There have been some charts for the old system (94840), but you may not be able to find it online. If I find one of my old Mustad catalogues I will PM you. There are also pics in Darryl Martin's "Micropatterns" I believe, but it is too late a night for me to look just now.

i keep the hook packs with one hook left in them as a ref. so i can easily tell right away

[Redhook]

I didn't get what I was looking for but I went to the webb & sent out some questionairs to manufactures and outfitters. I received a chart from a Colorado Outfitter that shows different flies and what the normal hook size is used in tying that flie. It should do me for now. Thanks for your responses in trying
to help me out. I guess it was an out of ordinary question. There is still one member still working on the chart hook size for me. Let this item be closed.
