The giant Salmonflies of the Western mountains are legendary for their proclivity to elicit consistent dry-fly action and ferocious strikes.
This is also a very rare mayfly. This specimen was the first ever collected in western Montana. Only 5 specimens have been collected from this large river.
This mayfly was collected from the Flathead River-lower in Montana on July 5th, 2007 and added to Troutnut.com by Bnewell on June 26th, 2011.
