Pteronarcys californica

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

This species was fairly abundant in a February sample of the upper Yakima.
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.

Here in N. Idaho we are looking at the first normal year we've had in recent memory.

Watch the inclement weather show up when I get there, John.:)

LOL, yeah that can happen. But since we know now what we learned last year, not even that can stop us! Shhhhhh :)
