Hello,
I am a new member to the forum and new to fly fishing this season. I have been out to the Don a handful of times in the last couple of months, and I have had a fair deal of success. I have caught lots of fish, but they have almost all been in the less than 1/2 lb category. So, I am curious about how to increase my chances at getting a larger trout on the Don. I have been mostly fishing wet flies or nymphs down and across, using spiders, Greenwells and GRHE's.
Are there any tips or rules of thumb to follow? Should the same techniques that get small fish also catch larger fish, but on a less frequent basis, or does it require different techniques? Do other factors such as the time of day or depth of water being fished make a difference, or fishing fast water vs pools vs glides, etc.....
Any help would be much appreciated.
