Brian,
Getting into 12"-14'' Stripers should be counted as a good day on the river. But to answer your question, I have found that a school of Stripers will have a couple of years class fish in them. Meaning, if you catch some small 6"-8" fish and some 10"-12" fish that is generally going to be what you hook up with. You may find some larger fish but they tend to be outliers. Sometimes the larger fish seem to be lower than the "little guys" you are catching, but if they are in heavy it is tough to get a fly down to them without the smaller fish grabbing it first.

On recommendation of folks here I went down to the rocks upstream of Chain Bridge on Saturday afternoon. Beautiful day and the water was full of small schoolies. But after a couple hours and dozens of little guys I never connected with anything larger than 12-14". Is there any trick to finding the bigger ones, other than having more patience than I had?--
