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

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.

I am heading to Byers creek this summer to go after rainbows, lake trout and burbot in the lake. Is anyone willing to give away general locations to fish? Upper or lower creek

Never heard of it. Where is it, what state?

Oh, okay, thanks. I have never understood the allure of wild trout that rarely exceed 9". Each to his own madness I guess.

Yup - although the allure was probably best explained by Traver's Testament.
