This specimen keys to the Epeorus albertae group of species. Of the five species in that group, the two known in Washington state are Epeorus albertae and Epeorus dulciana. Of the two, albertae has been collected in vastly more locations in Washington than dulciana, suggesting it is far more common. On that basis alone I'm tentatively putting this nymph in albertae, with the large caveat that there's no real information to rule out dulciana.

Alaxpol, where do you live? What do you intend on fishing for? Are you more interested in lakes or river/creek fishing? Or perhaps salt water?

Based on the initial content I think the OP is not being serious.

I have seen less from new posts, and they were serious because they didn't know what to ask till lead in the right direction. Then you couldn't stop them from asking questions.
But you could be right Matt, that crossed my mind as well.
Either way, just trying to be helpful.
You'll find fish in water. Is that more like it? Ha ha.

Yes, much better.

Well Matt, it's been about a week and no response from the O.P.. Looks like you nailed that one on the head.
I just can't understand why people do things like this. What kind of satisfaction do they get?
Please, no one answer that, because it isn't worth the time trying to explain.
