Pteronarcys californica

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

I caught a nice brookie a few weeks earlier in this pool at the junction of a split channel in the stream. The huge fallen tree is great cover. From the Mystery Creek # 23 in New York

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.

OK Jason, this is driving me crazy. Let me confer with Jack on this one. Have you ever had a picture on the tip of your tongue?

When asked what I just caught that monster on I showed him. He put on his magnifiers and said, "I can't believe they can see that."
