[black][size 3]Your concern for the "proper" size of hook to tie that fly on, should not be in question.[/size][/black]
[size 3][/size]
[size 3]Like all flies, which are used to imitate some type of insect, should be tied in several sizes.[/size]
[size 3]As you know, even though an insect can be found in many waters, they are not always the same size. Sometimes, even during a heavy hatch, etc. a change of size can make the difference.[/size]
[size 3][/size]
[size 3]It's a good practice to tie up several sizes for your fly box while your at the vise.[/size]
[size 3][/size]
[size 3]As long as you have a good productive pattern, you can't go wrong with several sizes of the same fly.[/size]
[size 3][/size]
[size 3]An example of this is my personal "go to" dry fly, the elk hair caddis. I have found it to be very productive in many sizes and shades, both as a hatch match and as an attractor. [/size]
