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 specimen keys pretty easily to Onocosmoecus, and it closely resembles a specimen from Alaska which caddis expert Dave Ruiter recognized as this genus. As with that specimen, the only species in the genus documented in this area is Onocosmoecus unicolor, but Dave suggested for that specimen that there might be multiple not-yet-distinguished species under the unicolor umbrella and it would be best to stick with the genus-level ID. I'm doing the same for this one.

Nice hijack, guys. Expertly done... I keep checking the new posts hoping to read more discussion about hatches. At least the last few haven't stimulated my appetite, which is something I could certainly do without following the holidays!:)

C'mon Kurt, get that garlic butter warmed up and break out the Old Bay seasoning...we talkin' crawdaddies!
I didn't check the link yet Matt, but we have rusty crayfish here in the Great Lakes that have invaded and taken over the crayfish population in some areas. In my minnow traps set to capture fish for my aquarium in the lower Au Sable, all I caught is rusty crayfish, no other species. They can be easily recognized by the rusty spot on their sides.

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

...Old Bay seasoning...
Now that's dirty pool, Jonathon. In my youth, we lived in a house on the banks of the Sacramento for several years. In those days the anadromous fish runs were still pretty healthy. We fished off the boat dock all the time and were always bringing in catfish and the occasional steelhead or striper to filet. A crawdad trap was always hanging off the back of the dock to catch grill compliments for the fish. Crawdad tails sprinkled liberally with Old Bay and a little kosher salt and grilled to perfection... Drizzled with garlic butter sauce while resting on sourdough so fresh it's still warm before it's lightly toasted... Thick striper fillets, corn on the cob, perhaps some asparagus grilled in a pepper garlic sauce. Mmmm...
It's not right for you to conjure such images. I've got ten pounds to lose to be in fighting trim before the season begins!!:)LOL
