Baetis

Tiny Baetis mayflies are perhaps the most commonly encountered and imitated by anglers on all American trout streams due to their great abundance, widespread distribution, and trout-friendly emergence habits.

This species was fairly abundant in a February sample of the upper Yakima.
27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.

Biography & Thoughts
Flyfishing for 30 years, tie flies, and have some time now to spend at the sport. I enjoy and wish to pursue Saltwater flyfishing as well. I have spent a bit of time in the Gulf areas of Texas but not extensive enough to report any success though I think I tie flies appropriate for the new venue... best..>>David
