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.
Troutnut is a project started in 2003 by salmonid ecologist Jason "Troutnut" Neuswanger to help anglers and
fly tyers unabashedly embrace the entomological side of the sport. Learn more about Troutnut or

Completely different from my comfort zone. Check out the video! Not sure how to post pictures on this forum...Hope you enjoy. Subscribe to my YouTube channel if you like! Tight lines!
Humbing to say the least...
