If you are content catching average sized trout than by all means keep fishing with small flies, but if you want to fish for a trophy rainbow trout or brown trout than here are a few things to consider.
For trout to grow to a very large size, at some point in their development they have to start consuming larger meals. For a large trout, unless the small flies and nymphs are in great abundance than feeding on small flies can be an exercise in diminishing returns. A large trout can actually expend more energy attempting to feed on small flies and insects then it will gain. Large trout have learned to be great opportunists. They will sit in deeper holes and slower water waiting for something larger to feed on. By sitting in the deeper holes and slower water they expend very little energy and can much more easily take a larger meal.
A few years ago a friend and I went to Montana fly fishing. After several days of great fly fishing on the Beaverhead and Big Hole rivers my friend Terry asked out guide to tie some large crayfish flies. I was catching several nice twelve to eighteen inch trout while Terry was not catching anything. About the time I was thinking his idea was not so great he hooked a very large trout. After about a thirty minute struggle with the large fish, he landed a brown trout that measured twenty seven inches and weighed over five pounds. Our guide who had been guiding for over twenty years on the Montana Rivers said it was the largest trout he had ever seen caught. The trout was caught on the large crayfish that was close to four inches long.
Since that day I have often resorted to using larger flies with some amazing results. Now when I go trout fishing I always carry an assortment of large crayfish flies, woolly buggers, woolly worms, and hand tied imitations of frogs, tadpoles and even small mouse flies. Large size wet flies will also take larger trout. Many of these I tie myself but you can actually find many of these by shopping for bass flies.
The larger trout flies will also take some large fish if you are fishing on ponds and lakes for trout. I hope you find this information helpful and will help you catch some larger trout.
Tight lines and clear water,
Catch and release,
