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.

Hello Everyone.

My name is Einar and i'm from Iceland.
I'm chasing after salmon, sea/brown trout and arctic char. I'm a big fan of surfice action.

The fishing season has started and things are looking bright for this season.

During the summertime i'm running flyfishing school, hosting flyfishing trips, guiding and of course fishing. Some would say that i'm a fish-a-holic!

Well, just thought i would say hi.

Hello Einar,

Welcome! Always dreamed of fishing for the King of gamefish in your country; never made it further east than the Margaree in Nova Scotia. Ah, so many places to go and so little time....(sigh)

Good luck with your season!

Tight lines,

Kurt

Hello and welcome! I'd love to visit Iceland sometime, too. Some research similar to mine is being done there, so maybe I'll get the chance at some point.

Welcome. Maybe we live a few thousand miles apart (I'm from Missouri right in the very center of the United States) but I agree with you on the fishaholic thing. I'm looking forward to some reports from Iceland. That's an area I've always wanted to fish but probably never will get the chance too unless I end making a lot more money somehow than I ever anticipate.
