whats your largest fish caught on smallest fly

Padishar Creel claimed to have caught a 19 1/2" trout on a size 22 parachute
adams. After further research into his fly box a retraction is now
required. The fly is a size 20 not a 22 and the Mrs. says the fish was much
closer to 3 pounds than 3 1/2...isn't she cute?

This will not be by any measure be the best reponse here in Roffian Land,
but I happen to remember this fish and the size of the hook.

Size 22 parachute adams dry fly - 19 1/2" rainbow trout -- I couldn't
weigh
it, but it was very well fed. My guess would be 3 to maybe 3 1/2 pounds.

thesize of some of these midges blew me away, i have a argument with a
friend of mine who believes you can only catch small fish on these small
flies but i reckon that larger fish would take them too(hes from new
zealand
they only use shark hooks there)

Can't really say for sure. Don't think I've ever seen her.
