Pteronarcys californica

The giant Salmonflies of the Western mountains are legendary for their proclivity to elicit consistent dry-fly action and ferocious strikes.

This view of the pipeline, the Atigun River, and an impressive sunset/rise was one of my first views of the North Slope as I came through Atigun Pass in the middle of the night.

27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.

This was my first lake run brown from one of the major Finger Lakes. He measured 20-21'' inches and fought extremely well! Its nice to catch fish in the middle of winter - spring is almost here!

Great fish. Feels good to get them on in small water, doesn't it?
