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.

This is the first of it's family I've seen, collected from a tiny, fishless stream in the Cascades. The three species of this genus all live in the Northwest and are predators that primarily eat stonefly nymphs Merritt R.W., Cummins, K.W., and Berg, M.B. (2019).

The fishing was really nice yesterday. There were quite a few caddis on the water, and a few mayflies too. No big fish, just a lot of 10-12 inch resident rainbows, and one smallish brown. Not a bad day anyway.
