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.

Tim,
If you happen to see this log on...I've sent you a private message and you can only see it if you are logged on. I see that you have only logged on once way back in July of 2008, but maybe you will see this by chance and get to read my message.
For those of you that might see this message Tim Neal is one of the better fly tiers in Michigan and has tied for decades...He ties and carries the flame for the old Au Sable flies...Traditional flies famous around the river...The Harris Special, Robert's Yellow Drake, Borchers, the Madsen Skunk, and the old Barber Pole, etc...One day we will get Tim and his buddy JR, also of Grayling, to publish a book with these famous patterns and their histories.
