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

This one pretty clearly keys to Kogotus, but it also looks fairly different from specimens I caught in the same creek about a month later in the year. With only one species of the genus known in Washington, I'm not sure about the answer to this 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.

Hey Everyone!

I picked up 2 balsa wood boxes with 36 flies each today. They both are made by Fuji. They are both size 12. Look like they are from the late 50's. Has anyone heard of this brand? Thanks guys!!!

Adam-

Are you saying the boxes are size 12, or that the flies that came in the boxes are size 12?
Best regards,
