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.

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.

Definition of 'third radial vein' in Mayflies

Third radial vein: The third radial vein (denoted R3) is the middle branch of the radial sector. It is sometimes unattached to the base of rs, making it difficult to distinguish from intercalaries except by looking at the fluting. It is a furrow vein (–).

These other words reference the same concept: vein R3, R3 vein, R3.
