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.
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 support the project for an enhanced experience here.

Greetings:

Last week I was working on some Shad in the American River, great practice for Steelhead season, which comes later in the year. I had my waterproof camera in tow so; I decided to shoot up river headed east. The famous Clay Banks can be seen to the right of the frame. I was wading in about four feet of water, 80 feet from the center of the river.

Enjoy,

Don
