This wild-looking little thing completely puzzled me. At first I was thinking beetle or month larva, until I got a look at the pictures on the computer screen. I made a couple of incorrect guesses before entomologist Greg Courtney pointed me in the right direction with Psychodidae. He suggested a possible genus of Thornburghiella, but could not rule out some other members of the tribe Pericomini.

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.

I don't know - why don't you ask some guys along the river? A couple of my friends fish there and don't seem to have any trouble parking.

You might get a better response from forum members if you introduce yourself since it is your first posting. Why all caps? Many people consider all caps as "talking loud".
