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 one seems to lead to Couplet 35 of the Key to Genera of Perlodidae Nymphs and the genus Isoperla, but I'm skeptical that's correct based on the general look. I need to get it under the microscope to review several choices in the key, and it'll probably end up a different Perlodidae.
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.

Biography & Thoughts
My father taught me and my brother to fly fish back when we was kids. It sparked my interest again when I was in my early twenties and since then I haven't been able to stop.

The city where I live has a decent salmon river and is by the sea so I mostly fish for salmon and sea trout even though I find brown trout fishing the most fun.
trout flies and salmon flies.
