Salmonflies
Pteronarcys californica

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

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.

Beautiful photos, Mike. What part of Greece?

Mike, My wife is Greek (from Athens) and we're contemplating retiring in Greece. I'm an avid fly-fisher having fished all my adult life.
I'd like to know more about the fish, entomology, and streams of Greece. We'll be taking a few vacations to Greece over the next few years before retirement and at some point I would like to meet you and see what you're offering.

Something is wrong with the web site or his server as it takes forever to DL the magnified Gallery pictures. I tried opening one and after thirty minutes it was still only half opened. Many of the streams look very shallow with little character. Some of the pools looked nice but the trout looked anemic and I doubt I'd consider Greece as a destination trout trip.

Hi Skeefer, welcome to the forum. You didn't notice, but Mike1974 posted to mention his service almost three years ago. He hasn't been back, so the odds that he'll respond here are pretty slim. I suggest trying to contact him through his website (assuming he's still guiding).

As far as the fishing, I concur with Matt.
