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.

Case view of a Limnephilus (Limnephilidae) (Summer Flier Sedge) Caddisfly Larva from the Yakima River in Washington

This seems to be a young larva of Limnephilus. Although not clear in the picture, several ventral abdominal segments have chloride epithelia.

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.

I love garlic! But, does it have to be raw? No problem, next time I make pesto I'll just add some extra...

Jonathon

Doesn't need to be raw but if you roast it increase the amount to 4 heads to be safe.
I picked this trick up from a fellow I used to work with. He would eat a head of garlic or a raw onion everyday at lunch. He never had an issue with getting "et up" even when spring turkey hunting. The propblem is landscape work is ratehr labor intensive and in 90* heat nobody could stand to be within 30' of him. Since I was loe on the totem pole I got the pleasure. ;)

Glad to hear. Now can we get the folks at off to sponsor a filed trial to some god forsaken remote place full of biting insects and trout?!?!

My adventure at Cooke Pond with the smallies on the Hex hatch the other night would have served as a fine trial - I put DEET on at least three times and they still kept coming!! Typical of what I remember from previous "Hexing" experiences, when the Hex are thickest so are the mosquitos! "That's Pure Michigan..."

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