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 resembled several others of around the same size and perhaps the same species, which were pretty common in my February sample from the upper Yakima. Unfortunately, I misplaced the specimen before I could get it under a microscope for a definitive ID.

I am in need of some help. I have went fishing on the North Fork of the South Branch in the Petersburg, Smokehole and Jordon Run Rd. areas and I need some advice. I have fished the area about 10 times in the past two months and have yet to land a fish. I know they are out there but they don't go for anything I through out to them. I was wondering if there was anyone out there that has fished the area and could give me advise on anything in the in the area. Also last time I went out I noticed a USGS depth gauge on the Smokehole Bridge and was wondering if someone had a link to get the info on the day to day level in this area. Any ideas and suggestions are welcome.
