beads and hook sizes

All about flies Fly Tying

Can anybody tell me or does anybody have a link to a chart that will tell me what size bead should go on what size hook? I have been using the eyeball technique but I want to order some new beads and don’t want to go the “assortment” route if I do not have to.

Most of what I tie is going to be nymphs in. size 14 through 20.

Thanks, as always, to everybody for the great help on this site

I tie flies using different sizes of beads on all the hooks so I can get different fall rates.
