Skip Morris’s Trout-Fly Proportion Chart
Skip Morris has written many books and several hundred magazine articles on tying flies, so you can rest assured he knows what he’s talking about.
After a few decades of research, Skip published a Trout-Fly Proportion Chart and sold it until it went out of print. Now, he’s offering it to you for free.
Below here you’ll see a sample page of the chart. We recommend you print all three pages and keep it with your fly-tying gear.
To get all three pages in full size, click through to his website.
