Ventral view of a Hydropsyche (Hydropsychidae) (Spotted Sedge) Caddisfly Larva from the Yakima River in Washington

With a bit of help from the microscope, this specimen keys clearly and unsurprisingly to Hydropsyche.

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.

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.

Guy I grew up fishing with is a general contractor, he does alot of estate jobs. He did a job yesterday and the client told him to take anything he wanted from the house-- it was all going to an estate auction. My buddy walked out of there with 8 Orvis rods and 5 Battenkill reels, along with 8 tubes, 3 rod/reel travel cases, and various extra spools.
