Pteronarcys californica

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

Here Oksrukuyik Creek flows away from the Dalton Highway toward the pipeline. It eventually grows into one of the major rivers of the North Slope, and the main drainage to the west of the Sag, but where it crosses the road it's just a small grayling stream.

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.

Hi guys,

I've been seeing a lot of posts and topics (from several users) that are edited to say "double post deleted" or something to that effect when you accidentally click the submit button twice. (My bad for not programming it to ignore extra clicks.)

Anyway, just so you're all aware, you can delete topics and posts you've created by accident. For topics, there's a "Delete Topic" link above the top post on the page. For posts, there's a black trash can in the upper right corner of the post, next to the "edit" scissors. Click that to delete the post.
