This Skwala nymph still has a couple months left to go before hatching, but it's still a good representative of its species, which was extremely abundant in my sample for a stonefly of this size. It's obvious why the Yakima is known for its Skwala hatch.

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.
