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.
We took her home last Friday at age 6 weeks, so she's coming up on 7 now and well on her way to being house-trained, crate-trained, and quiet enough that we can sleep through the night. She's a mix of McKenzie River Husky and Greenland Husky, and possibly 1/8th Lab. Both her parents are just 2 years old but are already very calm, sweet dogs. We got a good one!

It is definitely not the beginning of a sled team!
I seem to recall hearing that from one of my labmates two years ago when we both moved up. Now she has ten dogs. So you'd be right to be skeptical. However, I've seen how much work it is for her (it's an all-consuming hobby, even more than fly fishing) and I've got enough musher friends that I can get my fill of it without all the work. (It is fun!) Taiga may get to run with one of their teams a few times this winter.
