    JohnSV,
    Most of what I fish on the American for the winter fish is on Alec Jackson size 1.5 and 3, the April-May fish size 6-10 Tiemco 7999. I just got back from the Trinity and nothing happened until I got down to the size 10's and smaller (a size 16 nymph was the best swung fly of the trip), so I'm going to downsize a little this winter. Don't know if I helped or confused things...
