Salmon flies vs. Salmon Fly ? Sound confusing? It was for me. For some reason, stone flies , especially larger stone flies like Pteronarcys californica, are also called salmon flies. I don't really know why. Maybe the big hatches coincide with the height of a salmon run. Maybe the locals thought that only a salmon could eat something that big! (Those suckers are huge!) Maybe they just couldn't pronounce Pteronarcys. We may never know.
Nevertheless , Big stone fly "salmon fly" is not the same as traditionally tied Atlantic Salmon fly. We should ask Renee "Is a Hamburger (man from Germany) really a hamburger( see "Mac Donald's") ? Somethin' like that....... -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Gary Miller Sent: Friday, September 05, 2003 7:48 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: [VFB] Working Man's Salmon Flies Isn't a Montana Nymph a Salmon Fly? - Gary ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ><)))}"< <"{(((>< "Catch & Release...It's the future of fishing!"
