Trout can be finicky. I've seen them rise to a fly and turn away. I've seen them chase a spinner and turn away. I've seen my lure bump into them and get ignored.

Synthetic fish eat synthetic food until they don't, and then they still do sometimes.

LOL
Too Funny,
Dont get discurraged alot of my first trips went exactly like yours. I realized I was always too close to the release date. Now I like to back off it a bit and hit the water in the middle of the week when there is less pressure.
Tight Lines!!!

A couple years ago after fishing for half the day and trying several different flies without any hits I found the right one and caught a limit in half an hour. It was a #12 Copper John fished under a strike indicator. Of course the little piece of Berkely Trout Nibble placed on the hook may have had something to do with it too.

It really matters which river you are speaking of. After a few days the trout will key into the natural insect life, which can be as small as a size @24 on waters like the Guadalupe below Canyon
