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

This dun emerged from a mature nymph on my desk. Unfortunately its wings didn't perfectly dry out.

Personally I like to dig up dragonfly larvae or those cream colored caddis worms in the stick cases and dead drift them under a Thill float with my centerpin outfit down the seams and runs of all the central and north central PA streams and rivers.

1. Woolly bugger
2. Hare's ear soft hackle
3. Adam's
4. Hunchback Scud
5. Soft hackle Woolly
6. Muddler Minnow
These 6 flies in a handful of sizes will catch almost any type of trout, bass, panfish, or carp.
Tight Lines!

Fishing is like sex, when its good its great, and when its bad its still pretty good.
