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.

I haven't tied a lot of stonefly nymphs. In most cases the river I fish don't really have a lot of stoneflies. Where would be the best place to look for stonflies. In fast running water.

That's correct. They prefer that habitat.
