Thank you so much everyone for your Help! I have my hooks on order and plan to start with the threaded midge! Thanks again and have a happy new year!

Any ideas for learning/practicing thread control. I want to have a good solid basic foundation before I start tying any flies. So far I have been laying wraps down on a hook to get some consistency and just get a feel for things. I have moved on to trying to learn how to use a whip finisher or just use my fingers but I still feel like I should log many more hours to get a good base with thread control before I even think about moving on to tying a fly. Your thoughts/advice? Thank you for your help. Have a merry Christmas!

Hello to all, I am new to the forum and to tying. Well, when I was younger I picked it up and was able to tie a few things but not much and it kinda faded away. Years later I have picked it back up (well trying). I want to get my basics down and start from scratch. My first question is, How do you decifer/select different hook sizes for tying different flies. Are there charts for "Hook Anatomy" and Sizes. Thank you for the help, it is greatly appreciated.
