Pteronarcys californica

The giant Salmonflies of the Western mountains are legendary for their proclivity to elicit consistent dry-fly action and ferocious strikes.

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.
Troutnut is a project started in 2003 by salmonid ecologist Jason "Troutnut" Neuswanger to help anglers and fly tyers unabashedly embrace the entomological side of the sport. Learn more about Troutnut or support the project for an enhanced experience here.

Biography & Thoughts
My dad turned me on to fly fishing when I was very young. I would use some flies but worms as well in my teen years but wanted to fish exclusively with flies but didn't know how to match hatched etc. so I didn't get as serious until I moved south ,in my late forties, (NC) and started mountain fishing in NC at South Mt's. State Park and Wilson Creek. I got more in to it and now exclusively fish with my own hand tied flies, something else important my dad taught me.
