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.
A friend brought me this stonefly to photograph. He found it floating on the surface of a trout stream with its wings in a crippled position.
This stonefly was collected from Salmon Creek in New York on May 5th, 2006 and added to Troutnut.com by Troutnut on May 22nd, 2006.
