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.
Senior Canuck, I dated a woman in the Toronto area (Pickering) many years ago. There's some smallmouth in those Toronto area streams along with some nice salmon runs in the fall. I don't remember the name of the stream but we had a favorite and I pulled a couple of nice smallies out of there in early summer, then went back in early fall and found chinook rolling in some of the same holes...

No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere...
