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.

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.

Nice pool, looks very fishable, only has minnows, chubs, a few carp, and maybe, just maybe an isolated northern in a pool here and there.

My old man turned 80 so off to Iowa we went. I forgot how beautiful it is there in the fall. Here in the west fall is short and you have to time it just right to see leaves. In the mid-west it is an actual season that one can enjoy over a longer period of time. I miss it there.
