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 view of the pipeline, the Atigun River, and an impressive sunset/rise was one of my first views of the North Slope as I came through Atigun Pass in the middle of the night.

This dun emerged from a mature nymph on my desk. Unfortunately its wings didn't perfectly dry out.

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.

Re: PASSING IT ON!

Modelling his waders...I got these for his uncle when he was his age in the mid-90's...They look like new and he was very pleased that they fit.

He looks pretty serious here with that Sage & Hardy in his hands...Even though he's never fished before.

3/4's of "Our Crew". When one of the guys asked him what year he was born he said 1998...He then looked at me and winked, "Wasn't that just yesterday?"
