Last fall we were chronimid fishing with floating line and 9 ft leaders with 2ft tippet and #16 Chromies . We were doing fairly well for 12-14inch trout , about one every 20 minutes or so . For fun I had tied a single #20 Doc Spratley , just to see if I could do it . It turned out quite well , looks kinda like a mosquito , It was actually easier to tie a #20 than I thought it would be . At the lake My fishing buddy said , "I bet you can't catch anything with that dumb little fly You tied last week . I tied it on and almost instantly got a 12" trout .
let it go and then had another on almost immediatly . 3 fish and the fly was almost destroyed , It lasted another 2 fish and I had to retire it . Whatever they thought it was they took it about 2ft down instead of the aprox 12 ft deep that the chronies were working at . I got a bunch tied for this Spring and my fingers crossed .
