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.

Well, I notice that the photos on top of the page have now changed to proper autumn colors. MUCH better than the snow or ice - that time will be here soon enough...

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

Thinking again about Jason's algorithm...Does anyone remember Woody Allen's movie, "Sleeper"? If you don't its about a guy who goes in for a simple procedure in 1970 or so and ends up frozen and de-thawed 200 years in the future. They have, in the future, little closets that are called "orgasmatrons" and couples join each other there and love making is no longer a touchy-feely kind of thing...At one point Woody's character is on the run from the government and Diane Keaton is with him. They are hiding out in some home somewhere and Diane motions towards the orgasmatron as if to ask if he's interested...His response is, "In there...No...I've always been a manual operator." Just saying...

:)

"Sleeper" was probably the last of Woody's really funny movies unless you were really in to Russian Lit & History, then "Love & Death" would of been the last funny one...

How about the scene where he goes into the Orgasmatron by himself to hide from being captured? The thing turns on, lights flashing and all, and then when the bad guys come and pull him out of there his hair is all singed and smoking, and he has a big stupid smile on his face...

P.S. If I remember correctly, they also found a Volkswagon Beetle and the danged thing started right up after 200 years...

I’m what you would call a teleological, existential atheist. I believe that there’s an intelligence to the universe, with the exception of certain parts of New Jersey.” Woody Allen (Sleeper).

That is my favorite...

Or the Diane Keaton character was a bit of an air-head (go figure) and she wrote poetry etc and nearly blew one of her own fuses when she discovered that "God spelled backwards was dog."

I forgot...He ran a health food store and was a veg-o only to discover that everything we thought was bad for us in the 70's turned out to be good for us...Smoking, chocolate, etc...But I think this was marketing propaganda from the government.
