What does the size of fly-fishing flies mean. Example; “Sizes 10-22″ How does 10 differ from 22? Thank You!

Fly Fishing



I’m looking to purchase fly-fishing flies on line, but I don’t know what size to buy. Do you know of any sites that sell inexpensive flies? I’m too dang cheap to spend over 60 cents on a fly when usually I snag it in the grass behind me. I’m a beginner but getting better. I’m on a tight budget too. Thanks for you help!!

    Maybe this photo will give a better perspective of the difference in size. 22 being the smallest.

    An orange body soft hackle in size to 16 streamers black woolly buggers in size 14 to 18 soft hackle flies just think about the indicated size 14 to be 1x to 12 to 12.
