A question for the experienced catchers!
How much bigger should the salmon fly be where one is fishing the same conditions in very different cold water temperatures.
For example if you successfully fish say a size 8, cast at a certain angle, on a cool day in late Spring with a sink tip in a nice run of say 3 or 4 feet depth and a water temperature of say 55 degrees Fahrenheit (c. 12.5 degrees Centigrade); what size fly would you expect to have used two months earlier in the same conditions, save the water temperature was say 40 degree Fahrenheit (c. 4.5 degrees Centigrade)?

PS. I meant to say cold water in the title!
