I actually considered your offer for a couple of seconds...
How about the size of those huge snouts.

What a great video. Everyone should take the time to watch this. You will not be disappointed.

I knew that some of you would really like them.
What is amazing is the size of the trout. The largest trout I've caught on a dry fly is around 19" and the largest I've ever seen caught was around 21". The trout in the video dwarfed those.
Also, what was very interesting to me was how random those big trout were feeding and how close they were to the bank. Big trout typically can be timed between rises and hang back off the bank. The only thing I can figure is that particular river doesn't get alot of pressure. However, if this video hits the mainstream I'm sure the traffic will pick up.
Those fishers were pretty decent casters too. They were putting the flies right in the kitchen from about 40' away.
Sweet!

It may not count as dry fly fishing, but I have a good, or bad depending on how you look at it, dry/top water fishing story.
I missed a 28+ inch rainbow in a slough in Alaska on a huge mouse pattern. The fish was easily the size of my arm, or longer. Right as the rainbow busted the surface to swallow my huge mouse, I yanked the mouse right out of its mouth before the fish chomped down. Needless to say, I was pissed at myself for a long time, and still am.
