Dorsal view of a Skwala (Perlodidae) (Large Springfly) Stonefly Nymph from the Yakima River in Washington
This Skwala nymph still has a couple months left to go before hatching, but it's still a good representative of its species, which was extremely abundant in my sample for a stonefly of this size. It's obvious why the Yakima is known for its Skwala hatch.

27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.

Missouri Wild Trout The stream was looking less like a little spring-creek today, and more like a river. The spring branch that makes this particular creek a trout stream. A baby wild rainbow. Sorry for the low quality pic, but I was more focused on getting him back in the water than anything else.

A pretty view upstream from a very good bass fishing pool. An extremely low quality image of the largest bass caught, a largemouth bass of about 14"............
