    TMC 2488 for Dries.....how do you size them

    After that last post I'm looking into buying some of these hooks to tie some olive/midge dries/emergers. That whole issue of a wide gap makes complete sense for small dries and hookup rates. I normally just tie w/ a standard dry ...the only difference if for sz 20 and smaller I go straight eye vs. down eye exactly because of the gap issue, Considering its 2X short.....do you go one up in size. For instance...if I specifcally wanted to tie a size 22 Olive....would I use a size 20 TMC 2488 ?

    I wouldn't say that's completely necessary. Some guys actually tie up flies on a bigger hook but just make the actual dressing of the hook with smaller proportions to get it closer to say a size 22 fly on a size 20 hook.

    It is still all relative. A #22 midge on a TMC 101 looks bigger than a #22 midge on a TMC 2488. Just tie them up in both sizes, take them to the river, find some naturals and decide for yourself.
