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

This wild-looking little thing completely puzzled me. At first I was thinking beetle or month larva, until I got a look at the pictures on the computer screen. I made a couple of incorrect guesses before entomologist Greg Courtney pointed me in the right direction with Psychodidae. He suggested a possible genus of Thornburghiella, but could not rule out some other members of the tribe Pericomini.
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

I am wondering if there is a boot that would work with waders that cam be both a hiking boot and a fly fishing boot. If so, any suggestions?

Most modern wading boots are based on hiking boot designs. I use mine in the summer with a pair of wading socks once the water (& air!) get too warm for waders. Unless you have felt soles, which don't have much gripping power on land, most wading boots have enough divots on the sole to grip terrain. You might just have to clean the mud off of them once you're done...

No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere...
