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.
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 recently got an Olympus Stylus 850 underwater camera...I wanted to put up a picture and see if anyone else is having luck with any underwater shots of trout?

I was wondering how long you had to hold your hand under there until the fish swam into it.

Amazing fortitude, and nice shot.
