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 one pretty clearly keys to Kogotus, but it also looks fairly different from specimens I caught in the same creek about a month later in the year. With only one species of the genus known in Washington, I'm not sure about the answer to this ID.

When asked what I just caught that monster on I showed him. He put on his magnifiers and said, "I can't believe they can see that."

Looks photoshopped - the carp looks to be good sized - I didn't think there were any hawks that big.

As far as I am concerned, the osprey can have all the carp they want!!!

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

This may not be what you're expecting, but it fits the topic, I think.

Carp on the fly rocks! I just got into it last year...
the fly of choice:
don't ask me how to tie it dudes... a friend gave me this. I'm still getting duns, emergers, and spinners down.
my first carp on the fly.. one to remember for sure
not trying to rush it, as I'm ready to start hitting the hatches hard now that college is out, but I'm ready to start wet wading and targeting these beasts in the flats
