With a bit of help from the microscope, this specimen keys clearly and unsurprisingly to Hydropsyche.

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.

A fishing friend, George, wading in the bay. There is the remnents of a wall/road out there that was used to transport stone to Grindstone City to the right out of the frame. Water levels down in Great Lakes. This used to be under water. One of our members...I thought I was hard to get off the water..."Just one more cast dear." ;) This fella can fish! There were 40 of us in all. It was pre tourist time here. We owned the town and the Bay...There were two motels next to each other and we filled them both.

Re: #3 The Yellow Breeches That's a rise Spence, right there...Are you blind old-man?! :) I wish you could hear the clowns sitting behind me..."I hear they are really different up there in Michigan." Nice run, saddly in need of bugs. The conga line on the Yellow Breeches.

Re: Fly Boxes The huge box on the far left is a boat box and is unique in that it can be closed and inverted and there is another two page box identical to this side - equally full of Clousers. The two silver Wheatley's are steelhead flies in the box in the middle of the frame and Atlantic salmon flies in the box to the left. The box to the immediate right of the center Wheatley are also all hairwing steelhead flies but smaller #6 - #10. In the two large clear boxes in the foreground are back-up stock of bonefish and crab flies and the box to the right are all Atlantic salmon dry flies. There are a minimum of 7000 flies in the boxes, probably more than 8000 - but who's counting? HeHe! The other one third of my fly boxes - the long green box is all shrimp & crab patterns for bonefish and permit. The large opague gray box on the upper left is big striper and shark flies as well as barracuda flies and big poppers and I can see about a dozen grasshoppers too. A close-up of four of my six C&F boxes. The two boxes in the upper row are various PMD emergers, duns, and spinners and also a gazillion cinnamon CDC caddis adults, pupa, and spent caddis. THe bottom left hand box is all Ep dorothea (Sulfur) emergers, duns, and spinners in #18 - #22. There is a Myran box for the #16 duns and emergers and a larger 4" x 6" box for Ep invaria #14. I've got my boxes set-up to be hatch specific. Separate boxes for every hatch that I encounter on the Delaware system and the Montana tailwaters and spring creeks.
