Hi evrybody,
what a question. Here the flyfishinng background to it (for the rest, I think Martin is trying to maintain a G rating).
Trout season is over in my river, I was anyhow in the area, pike is still open, so I packed a heavy rod (and some spinning gear) and tried my luck.
The only fish besides a couple of takes that were for sure no pike, was a 35 cm brown trout on a Matuka streamer on a 3/0 salmon hook, probably 10m to 15 cm long (4 to 6 inches for those who think imperial), which was obviously released :) . Normally I fish streamers size 8 and have sometimes the impression that the fish are reluctant. I have caught trout on such large irons before, bur never given it much thought,
What would be your view/experience on this? Early spawning aggresiveness. An idea on what trout can handle as feed? I know the rule of thumb that northern pike take fish up to a third of thier body length.

does size matter?
The forums are very quiet
The Global FlyFisher forum has existed for almost as long as the site, and the oldest posts are more than 20 years old. Forums aren't what they used to be. Social media has taken over a lot of their roles, and the GFF forum is very quiet ... to put it mildly.
We keep everything online for the sake of history, and preserve the posts for as long as possible, but as you will see, quite a few of them aren't in a good shape, but rely on old images hosted elsewhere, which are no longer available, odd codes from old systems and much more, which can't be shown in a decent way.
But the posts are here, and you can - if you insist - start new threads and reply to old ones. But don't stay awake waiting for replies, because they are unfortunately few and far apart.
