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.

Just a few more browns I've captured lately. Both from the same day in late March. As I recall, they were both taken on #20 Zebra Midges (Red). The nymphing has become quite spotty lately, and slowed down a lot. Just a matter of time until the Pheasant Tails come on again...

In the words of Austin Powers:

Nice fishies, man!

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