Hi Eric!
Not counting streamers, the largest fly I tie for my area is a size 12. And, as a fly tier, why not match the hatch for the area your fishing. When I tie flis for my local streams, I always approach it with matching the insects that inhabit those streams. It just makes sense to me. On the other hand, one of my most effective dry attractors is a #14 Hair Wing Royal Trude.
