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.......
