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 view of the pipeline, the Atigun River, and an impressive sunset/rise was one of my first views of the North Slope as I came through Atigun Pass in the middle of the night.

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.

I have been looking for some amnesia mono. in 10 and 12 lb, does anyone have a source for this stuff? I have found the flat mono that most people carry but they also make a regular mono that is similar in diameter to maxima. I just used up the last of a spool given to me by a friend and neither he nor I have been able to find more. Any help would be appreciated.
