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.

I have Shimano Baitrunner Aero GT 8010 XT-7 fishing reel. I have been using it for bass plugging and spinning. Just wondering would this reel be OK for sea trout fishing as well? I also purchased 15 lb braid because I read somewhere that braided line is better than mono. I have been using Ed Schliffke Rockhopper bass plugger rod. Would this combination of rod and reel be OK for sea trout? I am new to angling, so any advice will be much appreciated.

Thanks..
