The giant Salmonflies of the Western mountains are legendary for their proclivity to elicit consistent dry-fly action and ferocious strikes.
This female spinner molted from a dun I photographed a few days earlier, as did a male of the same species that I captured with it.
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.
