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 specimen keys to the Epeorus albertae group of species. Of the five species in that group, the two known in Washington state are Epeorus albertae and Epeorus dulciana. Of the two, albertae has been collected in vastly more locations in Washington than dulciana, suggesting it is far more common. On that basis alone I'm tentatively putting this nymph in albertae, with the large caveat that there's no real information to rule out dulciana.
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.

Bruce,
At least you won't find any "pretty blue bottles" in the top ten hatch list. ;)

My bad. I missed the top 10 bugs list. YOU GOTTA LOVE THOSE PRETTY BLUE BOTTLES. I'll be in Somerset, NJ, with Chief. I hope NJ is prepared. Hope to see you all there.
