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 wild-looking little thing completely puzzled me. At first I was thinking beetle or month larva, until I got a look at the pictures on the computer screen. I made a couple of incorrect guesses before entomologist Greg Courtney pointed me in the right direction with Psychodidae. He suggested a possible genus of Thornburghiella, but could not rule out some other members of the tribe Pericomini.
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

Congrats on the new addition to the family. That makes 3?
Hey that great head-on shot of the Macaffertia (sp?) would be great to compare the body form with the brown drake thread.

Congrats on the little one! In no time at all she'll be whipping out wooly buggers for you.
I love the HDR. I think it really suits insects well as you don't get the surreal effect that sometimes crops up in landscape work.
