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.

I caught this tiny larva without a case, but it seems to key pretty clearly to to Glossosomatidae. From there, the lack of sclerites on the mesonotum points to either Glossosoma or Anagapetus. Although it's difficult to see in a 2D image from the microscope, it's pretty clear in the live 3D view that the pronotum is only excised about 1/3 of its length to accommodate the forecoxa, not 2/3, which points to Glossosoma at Couplet 5 of the Key to Genera of Glossosomatidae Larvae.
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.

Is that the rapids just below Groat Landing?

I know I am screwing up this thread but today's photo in your page header is really obvious! :)



You took a lot of photos from all the bridges along the river. :)

Looks more like the water just below Stinnet Landing but I don’t think that’s the spot.

Stinnet Landing is about 4 miles south of Hayward on 63. Groat landing is 2 miles south of Stinnet at the bridge on Zopp Rd.

Quite a few years ago I spent some time on the lower section between Hayward and Trego. I caught one small fish just upstream from the last bridge on 63 South.

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."

Okay, Stinnet is the one I was thinking of, then, I haven't spent too much time down there below town, and had them mixed up. You're probably right that that's not the spot, either. The river looks a bit small in this picture for that. I could only think of a few spots on the Nam with a rapid chute like that, and most of them I remember don't have such a steep bank, so I'm stuck guessing the ones I don't remember quite so well.

Could it be the outlet of Pacwawong?

Wow, I think I just set a record time for deleting a post. One that I will keep to myself, thank you.

Have you guys caught any fish just below this picture? I've spent little time there, though it does look good, but nothing.

Thanks John,
It’s always good to have somebody you can trust who has tested those otherwise good looking spots, and confirm them to be fish-less. I will delete that place from my places to try list, saving me from further wasted time on the water. By the way, my places to try list is rather lengthy, if I PM it to you would you please check off all the others that would be a waste of time?
Thanking you in advance,
Falsifly
