Lateral view of a Clostoeca disjuncta (Limnephilidae) (Northern Caddisfly) Caddisfly Larva from the Yakima River in Washington
This one was surprisingly straightforward to identify. The lack of a sclerite at the base of the lateral hump narrows the field quite a bit, and the other options followed fairly obvious characteristics to Clostoeca, which only has one species, Clostoeca disjuncta.

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.

Re: Trico Spinner, as requested
+ 8
What I often dream about. A "generic" synthetic spinner. 2488 hook size 20. My current favorite synthetic wing material - EP Fibers Fish eye view A fly for really flat water. The "McFly Foam" wing is almost transluscent when wet. Difficult to see on broken water. It does't float well after a dunking unless it is dried on a bandana, paper towel, your shirt, spare toilet paper or whatever you have handy. But it is worth the effort on those really picky ones... 2488 hook size 22. CDC wing floats like a cork. 2488 hook, size 20. A great fly in a riffle, or the head of a pool. Shawn will love the fact that there is no synthetic material in this fly.

I don't wanna paint the boys as lushes, but there are 31 (thirty-one) empty beers in this photo Not sure how they got ahold of this one... Is someone going to come after me for having this? Ah, that's OK, I'm well armed...
