I have a question for you more seasoned Small Mouth Bass (a.k.a. smallies, or Micropterus dolomieu) fly fishers:

I have been doing relatively well on the Schyulkill in the greater Reading are, but have not been hooking larger fish. 90% of the fish I catch are in the 6-11" range with only a very few over 12".

Is it (in your opinion) because ...

- Not many fish over 12" to be hooked in the areas I am fishing.
- Not fishing where the big guys live, I mean like the particular holds.
- Big guys are smarter and pickier.
- Big guys spool easily.
- or something completely different.

I am curious for your thoughts or advise.
