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.

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.

I just thought I would post this. I know some of you are aways from Michigan but I know you PA Boys may find the following cut & paste interesting...

In addition to artwork, flyrods, guide trips, and fly fishing/tying items, the auction will have some special items this year. A special fly plate will be auctioned featuring Rusty Gates and his Friends. There will be flies from Rusty and 14 outstanding fly tyers from the GLC. We will also be having a special auction of Chauncy Lively flies and books. The auction starts at 1:00 P.M. so plan to be there for this event.

This is put on by the Great Lakes Council of FFF and is held near Lansing MI and it is a very nice fly tying expo. Chris Helm is usually there and I know most of you are aware of his work and his great fly tying mail order service and shop in Ohio.

Anyway...
