This specimen resembled several others of around the same size and perhaps the same species, which were pretty common in my February sample from the upper Yakima. Unfortunately, I misplaced the specimen before I could get it under a microscope for a definitive ID.

About Dneuswanger (Dave Neuswanger): Approximately 34 years ago, my wife and I spawned a Troutnut. We're quite impressed with this new species, so we check in on his website now and then to see how things are going :-)
