Well put, Scruffy_Fly.
One other thing. Larger flies are much more difficult to present in a natural presentation. I will use a large fly like a Streamer, San Juan Worm or Leach and trail a small nymph in size 18 to 22 behind it.
Most Trout will take the nymph over the larger fly. Even the bigger fish.
That holds true for me on the Green River, Madison, and most smaller Northern Utah waters.
Now lakes are very different.
Large streamers rule on Strawberry and other lakes.
