With a bit of help from the microscope, this specimen keys clearly and unsurprisingly to Hydropsyche.

Not personally...
Seriously, it looks Bluegill-ish and the best way to hold any spiny fish is to get your hand/fingers AHEAD of the spines on the fins and fold them down against the fish's back. Yeah, a 'finning' hurts, too many times to count...
nice pic, too!
