Salmonflies
Pteronarcys californica

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

My then-girlfriend, now-wife took this picture with my camera.

This one seems to lead to Couplet 35 of the Key to Genera of Perlodidae Nymphs and the genus Isoperla, but I'm skeptical that's correct based on the general look. I need to get it under the microscope to review several choices in the key, and it'll probably end up a different Perlodidae.

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.

You might want to read the Forum Rules. I often list fishing stuff on Craigslist and have had great luck selling there. I actually have a bunch of nickel silver reel seats, a Clark reel, and a TFO rod for sale there now. I sold a Sage Flight 9' #4 in under two weeks.
