Bowfin47:

Eggs, Trout Crack, SJ worms, Tan dubbing flies, Grey sow bugs, and midges of just about any sort are all effective. I generally have Will fishing egg patterns and large trout crack since he can use 3X and a size #10 hook.

Some of those fish are just too big for small flies and little arms pulling them in. With 3X and a strong hook kids can lay the wood to those big fish.
