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).
Troutnut is a project started in 2003 by salmonid ecologist Jason "Troutnut" Neuswanger to help anglers and
fly tyers unabashedly embrace the entomological side of the sport. Learn more about Troutnut or
support the project for an enhanced experience here.

When asked what I just caught that monster on I showed him. He put on his magnifiers and said, "I can't believe they can see that."

The reason the deer population is down is because the fly fisherman are killing all the deer to tie deer hair flies.

No, it's because of women drivers talking on their cell-phones!

Who are trying to locate their husbands or boyfriends who are fishing with their deer hair flies.

|"It is not uncommon to see several folks out fishing in the middle of the afternoon in the middle of the week in the middle of the winter. It use to be unheard of to see another person out fishing at these times, but not anymore."
Funny you mentioned winter fishing. For years, my brother and I would fish on Christmas day in Potter County. It hasn't happened the last few years because of schedules but we never used to see anyone on the stream. People thought we were crazy. It would definitely dull the experience if we ran into a bunch of other people. It was always a special time together, maybe the only time in a year that we had the opportunity to fish together. And the solitude was part of what made it special.
