Goldeye (Hiodon alosoides) would be my guess, let the fish ID flame war begin!

Toolman that's more spey rods than are in my entire city.... only by one though . Wish I resided a little closer to the inhabitants of the spey lounge

You need to learn the two hander casting techniques first, at which time you will then be in a position to decide whether or not there is an advantage. Trully is a waste of time to haggle over the topic with someone who has never picked up a double hander that being said I'm a die hard two hander, I cast my Meiser 4/5/6 where it is totally inapproriate on a regular basis.... and it @#*&ing rocks. If you have not yet had the opportunity to chase steelhead or other larger coastal species you may not have a taste for the real advantages. At the very least if you toss your pride aside and learn the art of the double hander you will then taste for your self the advantages if they are indeed real and not percieved. Not only will you walk away a much better single handed caster but you will add a dozen new casts to your quiver.... if you have room

Bull's start their life cycle feeding on invertabrates and as they mature they begin sampling larger protein specimens. Like you and I once we get a taste of the good life we never want to go back. In short juv. bulls all eat invertabraetes and thus the majority of the bulls caught on small dries are juvenile , as they mature their ability to catch and contain larger prey improves and soon they waste little time feeding on the small stuff, unless the food source is too good to refuse and then the big boys will come from the depths!!!
