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.
Featured on the forum
This species was fairly abundant in a February sample of the upper Yakima.
Troutnut is a project started in 2003 by salmonid ecologist Jason "Troutnut" Neuswanger to help anglers and
fly tyers unabashedly embrace the entomological side of the sport. Learn more about Troutnut or

John, this is Jack. I’ve hijacked Falsifly’s computer to squeeze in a quick one. I wanted to respond to you’re 11/13 12:45 pm post on Falsifly’s “Don’t be so fast to pass on the fast water” thread.
Yes John by all means, I highly recommend “skinny dipping”. I’ve had some of my best “skinny dipping” on tail water, but don’t be too fast to pass on the beaver ponds too. I wouldn’t be stretching the truth if I were to admit that “skinny dipping” has provided me many long hours of satisfaction, coupled with some fast and frenzied activity. I could go on and on, but I’m afraid someone might ask me to reveal my favorite spot. However John, since you are part of the WI. Contingent I will give you a hint. It’s on the Namekagon where the river spreads by the big bush. It’s a real honey hole that I found years ago while trying a new nymph. I laid into one so big that I broke my rod. Now that’s a fishing story that’s hard to beat. That is unless somebody else would like to try their hand at a bigger one. I dare ya!!!

When asked what I just caught that monster on I showed him. He put on his magnifiers and said, "I can't believe they can see that."

Damn it Jack!!! I told you not to post that one.
I apologize to anyone who may misconstrue Jack’s post as having inappropriate connotations. I assure you that it is all about fishing and if it’s taken another way you have a warped mind.

I love the not-so-subtle double entendre of your post (get it?)...It's like a good old blues song about jelly-rolls...or some other sweet thing.

Could it be that Spence actually made a posting with so few words???

Dang it, Jack!! I wished you hadn't of told me that! Now I will be skinny dipping all over the river.
By the way, that might be the spot where I took a bath while trying to follow a big-ass brown I had hooked years ago.
