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.

There will be a FFAA (Fly Fishers Anglers Association) meeting on December 2nd, at 7PM at the Whitestown Vets Club in Yorkville, NY. I will be doing a slide show on "A Year of Fishing in Central New York" which will show the plentiful fishing opportunities that we have here in Central New York. Try and make it if you live close! If anyone is interested in attending, PM me for directions or any questions you may have.
