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 seems to tentatively key to Holocentropus, although I can't make out the anal spines in Couplet 7 of the Key to Genera of Polycentropodidae Larvae nor the dark bands in Couplet 4 of the Key to Genera of Polycentropodidae Larvae, making me wonder if I went wrong somewhere in keying it out. I don't see where that could have happened, though. It might also be that it's a very immature larva and doesn't possess all the identifying characteristics in the key yet. If Holocentropus is correct, then Holocentropus flavus and Holocentropus interruptus are the two likely possibilities based on range, but I was not able to find a description of their larvae.

A while ago I posted for people to guess the words that are used most often on this forum.
And here are the answers! These are all the words with at least 4 letters that were used 5 or more times on this forum as of about June 2010:

I had no idea Roger had posted this much - someone should probably intervene. Gonzo is way down the list - a disappointing showing.
I like looking for almost-poetic almost-sentences in this list. A few:
just trout genus were water like them when more time will fishing your very what
most night right their back nymphs flies down brown stonefly
while stuff size insects heard things once lake
baetisca hear completely bank used call lines
A new game - anyone else care to play?
-Shawn
P.S. Any meter used in this post was strictly unintentional.

It doesn't list usernames of the people posting, actually, just the bodies of the posts. So more people were talking about Taxon or replying to Taxon by saying, "Yeah, what Taxon said," etc.
It also probably helps that his nickname is a word that comes up in other contexts, too. Gonzo doesn't have that advantage, since this forum is about fly fishing. If the two were to meet again in a forum about muppets, I expect the tables would be turned.

will fishing your ve...ry what
Whew!! It's not a haiku. Almost broke my own rule.

Falsifly
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."

Allan...Those are some really interesting combinations...
Kurt...Thanks sir for being discreet! :)
Tony...His predictions were right on and I'm not only an old-red-barn but red in the face! I must stop signing my posts! I will now sign off as "The Enigma"...
Now I'm not surprised about Louis,he and I are floating downstream in the same B.S. boat each taking turns at the old Lore Oars, but Taxon's number one rating probably has to do with Mr. G heading up the mountain in the winter for meditation and more enlightenment...Roger wants us to believe he's the quiet obi wan kenobi with his short and concise responses but you have to watch those quiet ones...;)
