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 tentatively key to Holocentropus, although I can't make out the anal spines in Couplet 7 of the Key to Genera of Polycentropodidae Larvae nor the dark bands in Couplet 4 of the Key to Genera of Polycentropodidae Larvae, making me wonder if I went wrong somewhere in keying it out. I don't see where that could have happened, though. It might also be that it's a very immature larva and doesn't possess all the identifying characteristics in the key yet. If Holocentropus is correct, then Holocentropus flavus and Holocentropus interruptus are the two likely possibilities based on range, but I was not able to find a description of their larvae.

I am sure I am not the only one, but I am going fishing tomorrow. My brother is up from GA (which only happens once or twice per year). I am picking him up in York, PA and will probably head to Clark's and maybe one or two other places.
My brother is 13 years older than me and as kids we just didn't have much time together. I love the opportunity to fish with him. I am psyched. I can barely contain myself.
Just call me giddy.

Well you are one lucky guy.
One for going fishing today, (hope you stay warm)
and Two for having the right fishing buddy.
Both my fishing buddies passed away a few years back, and they are irreplaceable.
I suppose one could start a whole new thread on the qualities of the ideal fishing buddy, and I think that charisma and empathy would be close to the top, as well as being able to tell soo! convincingly, the most outrageous lies, with aplomb and decorum.
Man, I miss those guys.
I hope you have a blast today.

flybyknight -
Unforutnately we didn't catch too many fish, we each got a few but what the hell. As fly fishermen we all know that it isn't really all about the number of fish you catch as the actual experience itself.
We fished the run in Boiling Springs, PA and each got one (those fished are pounded daily). Then we went to Clark's Creek. We managed to pick up another 2 each but for the hours put in, that wasn't a lot of fish. Like I said though, the over all experience was great - a treasure actually. It is so rare to get out with my brother - despite the age difference, we share a sense of humor, a love for fishing, music interests, etc.
It was an awsome time and I wouldn't change a thing.
I am sorry to hear about your buddies. That must be a big loss.
Thanks for understaning my post in the first place, you really do "get it."
