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

I'll be driving by there sort of on my way to Minneapolis tomorrow. I've been home visiting my parents in Wisconsin for the holidays, and in the morning I'm flying back to Fairbanks, Alaska, where I'm going to grad school.
