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 specimen appears to be of the same species as this one collected in the same spot two months earlier. The identification of both is tentative. This one suffered some physical damage before being photographed, too, so the colors aren't totally natural. I was mostly photographing it to test out some new camera setting idea, which worked really well for a couple of closeups.
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.

A few pictures of my best buddy. Maybe my wife and I will get another kitty but her recent passing is still very fresh in our hearts.

OMG Matt what a cutie...looks extremely soft & cuddly, like my Leo was. BIG green eyes lookin' at ya. Yes, I will get another cat, one will come to me looking for a home like the others did...but it won't be Leo.

R.I.P. to all those furry ones who have touched our lives and made them immensely better.

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

Sorry for your loss, Matt. I remember meeting her.
