My largest brown trout ever was caught on a sixe 6 moth pattern. I was fishing the East River here in Colorado. I was making short, slappy casts into the riffles when a 29 inch brown gently sipped it off the surface. Sorry if that wasn't any help to your question, I just love to tell that story. :) Shay
