Mike,
You have a lot to be excited about. My best days on the Green have by far been with a size 2 black cone head kiwi sculpin. I have done well with the typical size 24 and 26 patterns there, but nothing compared to this huge honking beast of a fly. On one particularly tough day my friend and I actually had a fly rod rep and his guide pull over and watch, that was fun, seems they thought we were casting rocks and knocking the fish out. No one was hooking up on anything and just for fun my buddy tied on a size 2 white and I a black and in the next half mile of drift we hooked up with 5 fatty rainbows at 20"+ each. I will never forget the lessons learned that day.

When you say oversized streamer what would that be and what is the trailer? A smaller streamer?

Then, there's conventional wisdom (books) vs. unconventional wisdom. An oversized streamer with a small trailer hook catches a lot of fish in certain situations.

I have a goal this year to raise that aspect of my flyfishing. Can any of you recommend an excellent book on the subject where I can at least get the concepts more clear in my mind? Thanks.
