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

Two major forks of this grayling stream come together in this pretty pool.

This dun emerged from a mature nymph on my desk. Unfortunately its wings didn't perfectly dry out.

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.

Hello all you PA fly fishers! Recently I saw in the PA Fish & Boat magazine that there will be a change in the trout stamp and Erie steelhead permit beginning January 01, 2015. Beginning on that date any senior who has not bought his lifetime license prior to 12/31/2014 will have to buy a new trout stamp and Erie steelhead permit every year. However if you happen to have already turned 65 years of age, or will be turning 65 before the end of 2014, you might want to consider buying your lifetime license, trout stamp, and Erie permit now as you will be granfathered and be safe from having to buy it every year.

I bought my combo license back in 2009 and paid a few dollars extra to get the one that resembles a credit card.
