Kogotus Stonefly Nymph Kogotus Stonefly Nymph

Dorsal view of a Kogotus (Perlodidae) Stonefly Nymph from Mystery Creek #199 in Washington

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.

Jason, didn't you once have a link to all photos frm Alaska? It would be a nice idea, of course, that's my idea. I also thought someday man would fly. What do I know.

I used to have some Alaska photos in a separate Wordpress blog linked from the sidebar of all the pages on this site, but then I switched to just putting them on the main site (even if they aren't from fishing trips). They're in the same spot they've always been on here (since I put them up).
