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

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.

Welcome aboard, Canuck. You should find many like-minded folks here, and some of us even enjoy speculating about the identity of aquatic insects.

Senior Canuck, I dated a woman in the Toronto area (Pickering) many years ago. There's some smallmouth in those Toronto area streams along with some nice salmon runs in the fall. I don't remember the name of the stream but we had a favorite and I pulled a couple of nice smallies out of there in early summer, then went back in early fall and found chinook rolling in some of the same holes...

Welcome!

Jonathon

No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere...
