The giant Salmonflies of the Western mountains are legendary for their proclivity to elicit consistent dry-fly action and ferocious strikes.
This male died overnight before I had the chance to photograph him, so his abdomen is shorter than it should be because it shriveled a bit.
This stonefly was collected from the Namekagon River in Wisconsin on March 16th, 2004 and added to Troutnut.com by Troutnut on January 25th, 2006.
