Pteronarcys californica

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

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.

The brown is quite skinny. The first rainbow is a nice fish but by no means "huge". Maybe 22", possibly 23". The last fish is a big rainbow, looks to be pushing 25" or 26".

You should of written "link to an advertisement for a fly fishing business".
