Salmonflies
Pteronarcys californica

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

I like this one. Glacial river, taiga, tundra, and the perpetual ice cover of a massive high ridge dozens of miles away in the Wrangell Mountains.

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.

Im going January 4th, to do some work, but will have some time to play. I would like to take my 5wt a ton of streamers, and maybe my waders. I cant seem to find any decent info on fishing the inter coastals or rivers in the area, I'll be in Daytona Beach. Anyone have any info, tips, suggestions. I know this has nothing to do with trout.
