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.
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.
Troutnut is a project started in 2003 by salmonid ecologist Jason "Troutnut" Neuswanger to help anglers and fly tyers unabashedly embrace the entomological side of the sport. Learn more about Troutnut or support the project for an enhanced experience here.

>>it's so nice to be able to go to a site where i know i'll find the fringe left. the cooks whose political ideas are a danger to not only themselves but the good and will of the entire united states.>>

I dare you next time you go to a restaurant to stick your head in the kitchen and slur the chef in this way. If you're lucky, the least that may happen is that you'll come back to your table wearing a pot of Hollandaise sauce..

Did trtklr think I broke my ban button or something?

(For anyone new to the site who reads this and think I'm being too harsh, know that this guy is a repeat offender and previously banned troll who more than earned his punishment.)

(Second edit: Turns out the whole thing was a practical joke by a productive regular here. No trtklr after all!)

(Third edit: I was confused by somebody's note -- it actually was trtklr! Re-banning. Would have been a good joke, though.)
