Favorite size fly?
Any preferences of egg pattern flies, nymphs, or streamers? Just curious what's too big and what's too small

Big fly, big fish.
"If, when you pull a fly out you
dont hear drums and cant smell
chicken blood in the air, put it back
in the box, for if it is evil you seek,
then it can only be conjured with the
same.

I tie them big. In fact my friends and I refer to big streamers as "Parakeets." Especially in the spring so the smolts will leave em alone.
