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 dun emerged from a mature nymph on my desk. Unfortunately its wings didn't perfectly dry out.

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.

Cool video, Jenkins. My brother has caught lots of doubles before on separate flies when fishing a tandem rig, and I know many guys have caught small fish which during the fight are inhaled by larger fish (a double on one hook!), but I've never done either.

That said, considering the lure has 6 hooks, I won't be fully impressed until the guy catches a sextuple rainbow.
