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 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
I have not fly fished in more than 20 yrs and even then I was not successful. I have some new family members that are avid fly fisherman and I am looking to go out with them, I Just want to be a part of the pack Just kidding, any excuse to spend time outside, and I don't mean doing yard work. Probably looking at river/lake trout to start. Hoping I enjoy it once I get setup and start doing it, just can't see how I wouldn't. Anyway, already learned a bunch from some very helpful people on this site and who knows, perhaps one day I can pass some knowledge on to others.
