Blue-winged Olives
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.
Troutnut is a project started in 2003 by salmonid ecologist Jason "Troutnut" Neuswanger to help anglers and fly tyers unabashedly embrace the entomological side of the sport. Learn more about Troutnut or support the project for an enhanced experience here.

Ah yes, the Pine
Armed and dangerous (to fish at least)
Yours truly with a few of the flies I have been throwing lately (but not enough!)
A great picture of Joe ready to hang something on the end of that rod!
Joe is feeling no pain (whatsoever) - his attempt to decompress from corporate work stress was highly successful

No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere...
