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.

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.

Two typical wild browns of ten over a two day period.

This brown is at least 19", maybe 20".


It's 16" from the butt plate to the accent wrap on the blank - makes this brown at least an honest 17".

Matt,

I knew you must of been out there hassling trout somewhere...You have been rather quiet here on the web...Who needs the virtual world when there's a real one out there to explore? A nice brace of trout there sir!

Yes, when bugs are on the water I am less active on forums and far more active on the water.

SO GOOD to see those northeastern fish like that; alive, healthy, and beautiful. Nice job mate!
Most of us fish our whole lives..not knowing its not the fish that we are after.
