Salmonflies
Pteronarcys californica

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

Here Oksrukuyik Creek flows away from the Dalton Highway toward the pipeline. It eventually grows into one of the major rivers of the North Slope, and the main drainage to the west of the Sag, but where it crosses the road it's just a small grayling stream. From Oksrukuyik Creek in Alaska

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.

Lateral view of a Male Drunella spinifera (Ephemerellidae) (Western Slate Olive Dun) Mayfly Nymph from Mystery Creek #199 in Washington
In a bucket full of Drunella coloradensis nymphs, this was the only specimen of Drunella spinifera (and the first one I've found anywhere).

Woah! Another cool drunella. So much out there we often don't have a clue about. Thanks, Jason.
