This is the first of it's family I've seen, collected from a tiny, fishless stream in the Cascades. The three species of this genus all live in the Northwest and are predators that primarily eat stonefly nymphs Merritt R.W., Cummins, K.W., and Berg, M.B. (2019).
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'm heading up to the Tully tomorrow for sure and Sunday too if I have reasonable success on Saturday. I like the water from Rebers Bridge up to the dam. I drive a silver Subaru Legacy wagon. PM me if anyone is interested in hooking up.
P.S. I heard the reverse Tricos are falling!
