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.
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 support the project for an enhanced experience here.

I don’t know if this survey has been updated to the extent of its contents, but as I scrolled through its vastness I found myself mesmerized by the shear number of graphs, charts, and statistical analysis, information that some of us, as sportsmen, my find interesting. I know I did. The pdf file may take some time to download for those of you who are a little slow.
