Pteronarcys californica

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

This specimen keys pretty easily to Onocosmoecus, and it closely resembles a specimen from Alaska which caddis expert Dave Ruiter recognized as this genus. As with that specimen, the only species in the genus documented in this area is Onocosmoecus unicolor, but Dave suggested for that specimen that there might be multiple not-yet-distinguished species under the unicolor umbrella and it would be best to stick with the genus-level ID. I'm doing the same for this one.
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
At Trident Fly Fishing, we’re gear junkies. We had to drive for hours in search of the perfect rod only to find that we couldn’t actually cast it in store. We wanted to change the way you thought about buying fly fishing equipment.

Rodmakers have been making rods lighter and more accurate every year. It’s time that someone changed the way you shop for your next rod. So, we created the first website in the fly fishing industry which allows you to quickly find exactly what you’re looking for. Want to compare 9’ 5-weights? No problem. Looking for a reel with a sealed cork drag? It’s only 3 clicks away. Innovation shouldn’t just be for your gear - but how you buy it.
