Salmonflies
Pteronarcys californica

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

This view of the pipeline, the Atigun River, and an impressive sunset/rise was one of my first views of the North Slope as I came through Atigun Pass in the middle of the night. From the Atigun River in Alaska

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.

Biography & Thoughts
roguerat- born and raised in west Michigan, love The Rogue River...and the White...and the Muskegon...and the PM...you get the drift. Started fly-tying and fishing warmwater back in '93, then going after trout 12 years ago or so when a friend moved back from Minnesota and twisted my arm into trying it. haven't tied anything smaller than a 22, no matter what my friends say about Tricos and midges.
middle-aged, 2 daughters who come home from college to fish with dad (fly-fish, naturally), wife and I do lots of weekenders trying new fishing spots.
