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.

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

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.

Troutnut is a project started in 2003 by salmonid ecologist Jason "Troutnut" Neuswanger to help anglers and fly tyers unabashedly embrace the entomological side of the sport. Learn more about Troutnut or support the project for an enhanced experience here.

Anyone going to Sommerset?

Just maybe. I'm up to my neck in committe work at the minute and will have the typical rush at the beginning of the semester, but I'm considering it if I get a breather at the end of the month. Matt, are you still thinking of going?

It would be great to meet up, guys.

Little j,
That would be the one.

Krachen,
NYD was cold with a very nice bow lost and several smaller fish throwing the hook.

I'm going to try to make it. I'm trying to see if I can get someone to share some space with me so I can bring a few of my artistic flies along - otherwise they'll have to stay home. It would be really neat to meet a few of you guys I've never met in person.

If anyone knows anyone with some table space they're willing to share, please let me know.
