Pteronarcys californica

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

With a bit of help from the microscope, this specimen keys clearly and unsurprisingly to Hydropsyche.
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.

Hi John, I missed previous messages somehow. Things get buried fast in my email. Just tied up for a while, but we are on high ground and stayed dry. I did have a time getting home the Wednesday that Hershey flooded, though. Had to detour a number of times and then to ford several places. The last spot was a bit touch and go, but fortunately made it through. Hope you're fishing some for me.

I saw Dr Louis Martin at fish camp Saturday night,he looked OK. I told him my arm hurt when i raise it up (like this) Louis said John don't raise your arm. He sure is a good friend.

They fasten red (crimson red) wool around a hook, and fix onto the wool two feathers which grow under a cock’s wattles, and which in colour are like wax.

Dr. Martin is a good Dr..mine would have said, "Here, let me kick you in the knee, and your arm will feel fine."
