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.

A few caddis and a baetid [Page: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5] Featured Topic The smaller, more in-focus pupa was still alive, kicking and swimming, hours later while taking photos. The larger, blurry one died pretty quickly - I think I injured it. Size 16 and 12, respectively, nearly identical in color. Side view of the smaller one. It didn't like to be flipped over - prefers right-side-up. Underside of a different pupa. Size 20. Top side, same pupa. A few more of these little rusty baetids I've been finding. Don't know if the fish have been feeding on them - have only found them here and there. I tied up a few good-looking dries for them, but I haven't fished them yet. Size 24.
