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 one pretty clearly keys to Kogotus, but it also looks fairly different from specimens I caught in the same creek about a month later in the year. With only one species of the genus known in Washington, I'm not sure about the answer to this ID.

Has anyone here ever fished these rods? They make some long rods for light lines, which has a good bit of appeal to me. I'd just like to see one in action first.

I'd love one of these in a four or five weight, but have about as much chance at affording one right now as you have of finding someone to take over at your job while you fish Stones and Paraleps. But I might start saving my pennies. Let me know if you learn more.

I hear ya, but a 10'4" 3wt, 10'6" 4wt and a 10'8" 5wt. Those are the kind of specs that dreams are made of, for the short line nympher.
