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.

I can't believe I overlooked this problem for so long, but apparently for years there's been a bug in my code that made it impossible to attach pictures to posts in the "Fishing Reports" forum (except by linking to pictures hosted elsewhere). It only took a few minutes to fix once I realized there was a problem.
BIG thanks to FisherOfMen for pointing out the error messages he was getting, which set me on the trail to fixing them. Hopefully we'll see a lot more reports with attached photos now!
