I had a patient from the Hoopa reservation in Northern California on the Trinity River. She gave me a jar of smoked lamprey. It was absolutely fantastic.
My daughter was 10 at the time. I called her over and had her try some "smoked salmon". Her eyes lit up and she said it was the best thing...
I was fishing the Holy Water stretch about a week ago and this letter feller floated past me. Too small and early to be a salmon fly or golden stone, but unfamiliar with the other stonefly species in the river
I caught a pretty dang big one on the Yak one time on a purple Chubby Chernobyl. I also caught two in Baum Lake (a small Hat Creek impoundment) at dusk. I didn't realize there were any in there, I'd never heard of them being caught, but they are native to the Sacramento River watershed
