I did try some smaller stuff, soft hackles, hares ears, & a prince. Believe me, I went through a couple of tippets with all the flies I tried. There are a ton of chubs in Joes, that is why they stocked the Tiger Muskies and there are also some very large splake so that is why I stuck to the larger patterns. Years ago before the chubs got started I use to fish with two flies. The problem was that the splake tend to spin when they are fighting so if they didn't hit the trailing fly they would have it wrapped around them by the time you got them in. Maybe I'm old school because I pretty much stick with a single fly nowadays. Less chance for me to get myself in trouble with the other fly that doesn't have a fish on it.[laugh]
