[quote tubbyama]You have been inducted into the 20/20 club. 20"/#20 fly![/quote]
What’s the prize for being a member of the 20/20 club? I didn’t know it existed. I don’t think I’ve entered that club yet. Is there an 18/27 club. I’ve made that in Utah on a day with a half dozen over 20 inches. Just saw no reason to move further down in size that day. I stop with the smallest that works well for me. Now I’m starting to get slightly presbyopic. I don’t know if that will change even with my first pair of transitions bifocals in the past year. I still have productive days in winter I never go smaller than size 10. Outside of winter I don’t fish smaller than 16 except targeting those prespawn Cutts out of Strawberry.
I guess I just prefer the opposite spectrum of fly size as long as it is productive. My absolute favorite fly fishing in Utah will always be hitting the massive Salmonfly hatches (with size 4-10 dries and nymphs) that some of the states most productive streams have. Yes it’s stupid easy nonstop catching but the real challenge is finding the hatch at all.
