Hi John,

overall dressing must not exceed 15/16s of an inch.

PM me your address and I will post you a handy tying guide measure thingybobby!

if it's the same as international rules it's 5/8th's for the hook and 15/16th overall length. Good diagram half way down this page:

Sorry guy's, but the correct size for the Scottish Clubs is 3/4'' hook and 1,1/8''th for overall dressing.

Last time i fished this comp i was sure the overall length was over an inch, i take it it has now come in line with international fly rules. i am not fishing myself and would hate to tie flies oversize for the team.

Dave i have a measure for flies (international) but thanks for the kind offer.

Cheers Jim, i did think it was a bigger size for the scottish clubs, i'll tie them small any way

Stick to international sizes far better

smallest fly is the size of a single malt whisky biggest fly is the size of a bottle of bud

And there I was hoping for a wee cheeky swap for some of your reversed sighters!!

Good luck for the rivers final, might take a wonder down.

Dave,

i will tie some for you and see you there. hope this rain isnt to bad .
