The giant Salmonflies of the Western mountains are legendary for their proclivity to elicit consistent dry-fly action and ferocious strikes.
I found this specimen along with a male on the surface in the shallows of a long flat in a warm-water smallmouth bass stream, during the middle of the afternoon. This same individual is listed as a separate specimen after molting into a spinner.
This mayfly was collected from the West Fork of the Chippewa River in Wisconsin on June 21st, 2021 and added to Troutnut.com by Troutnut on June 24th, 2021.
