This is the first of it's family I've seen, collected from a tiny, fishless stream in the Cascades. The three species of this genus all live in the Northwest and are predators that primarily eat stonefly nymphs Merritt R.W., Cummins, K.W., and Berg, M.B. (2019).

Super great video, and nice fish, every one. I'm from CNY, originally. I probably hit a few of those places in my time. My favorite spot was not far from where I lived in Syracuse. A place called Nine Mile Creek. I understand it still fishes quite well.
Thanks for sharing your experience,
Mark
