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

This one seems to lead to Couplet 35 of the Key to Genera of Perlodidae Nymphs and the genus Isoperla, but I'm skeptical that's correct based on the general look. I need to get it under the microscope to review several choices in the key, and it'll probably end up a different Perlodidae.
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.

My trip to the Adirondacks this summer is getting delayed from the usual mid-June date to early July now, and I'm wondering what that's going to do to the fishing. Will there being any water cool enough to fish up there? I'll be within easy range of the West Branch of the Ausable, Boquet, Saranac, and the lakes of the High Peak regions (I'll be staying in Saranac Lake). I don't want anyone to give up secret spots or anything, but just in general, is there any good trout fishing to be had up there that late in the summer?- I'm also up for going after stream smallmouth if the trout are off, so any suggestions in that department are good too.

I live near the Battenkill and ussually fish it all summer long I only stop if the water gets too hot and poses a treat to the fish but thats ussually not the case all of those rivers are within a few hours of my house so if you will be up on a weekend maybe Ill join you and you are also welcome to spend some time with me in the Battenkill Todd
IF I am not flyfishing or bird hunting I must be doing something bad like working !!
