The giant Salmonflies of the Western mountains are legendary for their proclivity to elicit consistent dry-fly action and ferocious strikes.
I confirmed the identity of this nymph by looking at it under a microscope to be certain of the shape of its gills and head.
This mayfly was collected from unknown in Wisconsin on January 31st, 2004 and added to Troutnut.com by Troutnut on January 25th, 2006.
