Newbie here. Actually posted yesterday to share my first SERIOUS fish I’ve caught. I live in western WA and have been learning on the small creeks and alpine lakes here. The fish will generally take whatever you throw at them.
This was my first trip to a larger river on the eastern side of the mountains, and I found the fish to be much more discerning. So, I did my best to take the time and observe the insects when choosing flies. I’m trying to learn more about the nomenclature of bugs and the corresponding flies. Im curious to hear what people would call these bugs and what fly you would tie on to match. There’s also a pic of one of the runs I fished for a while. Just want to learn more about how others would have fished this scenario. Cheers!
(My research has led me to believe that I was looking at mayfly duns and nymphs)
