The giant Salmonflies of the Western mountains are legendary for their proclivity to elicit consistent dry-fly action and ferocious strikes.
This stonefly species was the most common insect over the small stream I fished one August afternoon; I saw dozens in their egg-laying flights.
This stonefly was collected from Enfield Creek in New York on August 24th, 2006 and added to Troutnut.com by Troutnut on August 27th, 2006.
