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.

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 support the project for an enhanced experience here.

We will hold our 5th annual streambank and roadside clean-up on the Little Juniata River on Saturday, April 10th. Meet at the Spruce Creek United Methodist Church at 9 am. In addition to keeping the river a little more beautiful, we thank and invite all the landowners who we are indebted to, for allowing public access. We also make a standing offer to all "j" bank owners to clean-up any and all trash left on their property. With enough volunteers, we will extend our clean-up miles once again, including all the waters between Bellwood and the Frankstown Branch (more than 20 miles). It's a good opportunity to give a little back and to see stretches on the "j" you never new existed. Last year we had over 100 people show up.

Marked it on my calander. Hopefully will be able to attend this year. I never usually hear about it until a couple days before and usually had plans. Now this year I got a heads up.
