Limnephilidae (Giant Sedges) Caddisfly Larva Limnephilidae (Giant Sedges) Caddisfly Larva

Dorsal view of a Limnephilidae (Giant Sedges) Caddisfly Larva from the Yakima River in Washington

This specimen resembled several others of around the same size and perhaps the same species, which were pretty common in my February sample from the upper Yakima. Unfortunately, I misplaced the specimen before I could get it under a microscope for a definitive ID.

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.

The larger stones are nearly done here in Indiana Co., and I was out for my first blizzard of small green caddis on tuesday evening. We finally nailed over 5 fish on top, all on caddis emergers and x-caddis (I never use a fully hackled caddis imitation) Not much mayfly activity yet, but with temps heating up and the water coming down, I'm feeling some sulphurs and light cahills on the way. Super stoked about throwing some of my new sulphur emergers. Will throw up some pics tomorrow.

Anyone else offer some hatch sights in the region?
