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.

Nymphs of this species were fairly common in late-winter kick net samples from the upper Yakima River. Although I could not find a key to species of Zapada nymphs, a revision of the Nemouridae family by Baumann (1975) includes the following helpful sentence: "2 cervical gills on each side of midline, 1 arising inside and 1 outside of lateral cervical sclerites, usually single and elongate, sometimes constricted but with 3 or 4 branches arising beyond gill base in Zapada cinctipes." This specimen clearly has the branches and is within the range of that species.
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

Last spring I spent a few months working on another website, then put it on hold at about 95% completion when I ran off to grad school. I finally found a few minutes here and there to finish up, so here it is:

It also only takes about 30 seconds to add a fly, once you've got the picture, unless you add some optional details.
Head on over and try it out!!

Come on, guys... I know some of you have pictures of flies you've tied sitting around on your hard drives. Let's see them!
At least sign in and check out and rate the other flies.

Got a good start so far! People have put some really cool stuff up.
One of the best parts of the site right now is a profile of Gonzo's flies. I borrowed a couple of his flyboxes and photographed everything in them to put on Hacklehead. They're not only realistic, but lifelike and fishable, too.
