The famous nocturnal Hex hatch of the Midwest (and a few other lucky locations) stirs to the surface mythically large brown trout that only touch streamers for the rest of the year.
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.

Just registered a couple days ago looks like a nice forum. I've been fly fishing for more years then I care to admit but never as often as I'd like. Born and raised on the east coast and most of my fishing time has been spent on New Hampshire rivers and ponds. Have done a little fishing in Vermont on the Battenkill and other streams. Spent some time in Southern Cal fished in northern cal and Oregon. Now I'm back to my beloved New Hampshire and wondering if anyone here on the forum fishes in my neck of the woods?

just back from my now annual trip with my sister to Pittsburg. i taught her to fish and she taught me to kayak and now we go north, just us ladies, every June. BTW, the fish in Boundary Pond are numerous, willing, and now occasionally large-ish. the road in, however, is a complete mess so we had the pond to ourselves...take your largest truck! looks like they fixed the dam at Scott Bog last year, but we only saw fingerlings. too much rain for kayaking this year; we beat the Trophy Stretch to death instead and gave East Inlet a miss. Back Lake was its usual mixed bag with gorgeous sunsets and a million friendly anglers.
so the rest of you folks now know about another really swell place, just in case your list was getting a little short. :-)
