I haven't fly fished for spotties but I have fly fished fresh water species. I have watched some fly fishermen on Mission Bay, they were mostly catching smaller fish but it was all catch and release anyway so size didn't matter. It was the same on San Diego, they probably caught ten fish to every one I was catching on my swim bait but they were all small fish. It may have just been the day I was watching though. There isn't any reason bigger fish won't take a fly. I think the smaller streamers catch smaller fish so maybe it's they just need to be fishing bigger streamers. Most people don't eat spotties anyway, I know I've tried a couple of times and wasn't crazy about them. They tell me sand bass are better and calicos are the best. I don't see why you couldn't catch barracuda on a fly if you sight cast to them.
