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.

They fasten red (crimson red) wool around a hook, and fix onto the wool two feathers which grow under a cock’s wattles, and which in colour are like wax.

Good to see you there, John. Too bad I missed you, Keystoner - always good to meet a new Troutnut. Maybe next time. Missed you and BFF, Casey, not to mention Chris.

It was a decent show, really good crowd Saturday but light the other two days. Good response to the little hooks. Developed what I think may be my next artistic fly on Saturday. After a bit of fooling around and making some crappy flies, things just came together and a cute little pattern was born - good stuff.

See you in Philly, Casey. Hope others can join us.
