On two occasions I used a size 12 stimulator dry as an indicator, taking nice rainbows on a beaded zug bug and hares ear nymph. The stream I like to fish has holds trout larger than 18-inchers. My largest fish have been on the nymph and streamer (12-14 inch). After rises to the dry s.i., my attention gets drawn more to dry flies (and usually smaller fish)! The water and solitude become what really matters. . . . .
