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.

Epeorus albertae (Pink Lady) Mayfly Nymph Epeorus albertae (Pink Lady) Mayfly Nymph

Dorsal view of a Epeorus albertae (Heptageniidae) (Pink Lady) Mayfly Nymph from the East Fork Issaquah Creek in Washington

This specimen keys to the Epeorus albertae group of species. Of the five species in that group, the two known in Washington state are Epeorus albertae and Epeorus dulciana. Of the two, albertae has been collected in vastly more locations in Washington than dulciana, suggesting it is far more common. On that basis alone I'm tentatively putting this nymph in albertae, with the large caveat that there's no real information to rule out dulciana.

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.

Was wondering if anyone in the York, Lancaster, Harrisburg metro area ever goes to Elk or any of the mile creeks? I enjoy going during the week and would love to partner with someone to share on driving, gas expenses, and motel. Have ability to go virtually anytime with a few hours notice. Although I prefer not to fish weekends. I looked at the long range weather and it appears there is going to be lots of rain and showers for the next week. Would love to go up very early next Monday so we would arrive by daylight and stay to at least Wednesday afternoon or Thursday.

I go up via 11/15 from York to I-80 and could meet up with anyone along that corridor too. Could park your/my vehicle at the WalMart in Lewisburg.

PM me if interested.
