Are there specific fingering charts for open holed flutes? If so, where can I get one?

I have an open hole flute and all the notes (that I know of) are all the same as the closed wholes. Now, maybe REALLY high notes might be different or have different alternatives. I have also seen some notes that you cover half of the hole, but again they are either alternatives or maybe really high. Correct me if I am wrong.

Yeah Heather you are right for the most part. But the finguring where you only cover part of the hole is only for quarter tones or alternat fingurings. All the fingurings for the Open Hole and Closed Hole flutes are exactly the same and should be played the same. Be sure to only use alternate fingurings when it can not be hepled.
Hope this hepls. Need more help just email me.

There is one note that is different with better flutes, but the rest are the same. That note is the really really high C two octives above the staff. If you have a B foot opposed to a C foot, you need to use the gizmo key to make up for the extra length. but now that i think of it, thats not for open holes vs. closed holes. ok, sorry.
