Ever heard of using them in smaller sizes on trout?

These and similar flies work very well indeed for trout. You may have
some problems in some places convincing whoever runs or controls the
fishery that they are indeed "flies".

Thanks Mike. I'm eager to tie some of these as a spring project and am
heading out in a bit to find the pearlescent mylar sheets, hopefully
the flyshop or hobby lobby has it. Seems like the TMC 2457 would be a
good choice? My thought was the hook weight is good for the smaller
sizes, I'm thinking #14's. Colorado has a very reasonable "flies and
lures only" policy on areas where it is an issue, so this hair-
splitting is completely avoided. I don't believe we have a 'flyfishing
only' designation anywhere.
