Thanks! This is probably the first skwala I've seen in person and I wasn't aware that the Rogue had a population of them. Cool!

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
