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 specimen keys to the Epeorus albertae group of species. Of the five species in that group, the two known in Washington state are Epeorus albertae and Epeorus dulciana. Of the two, albertae has been collected in vastly more locations in Washington than dulciana, suggesting it is far more common. On that basis alone I'm tentatively putting this nymph in albertae, with the large caveat that there's no real information to rule out dulciana.

The Autumn season is upon us here in northern lower MI, but you wouldn't know it from the Summer-like temperatures! Or the continued presence of biting insects...but Old Man Winter isn't too far away now so we have to enjoy fall while it's here. So I have posted a few shots from my local adventures, including a few fishing holes, for you all to enjoy.
Okay, I know, I know...WHERE'S THE FREAKING SALMON??? I'm working on it, guys...and the big perch came from a lake that has rainbows in it, but the 'bows were just little dinkers, 6-8" and not really worthy of photography. I'll be back there soon, though, and if that hoped-for 15-incher makes it into the net, you'll see it on here.

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

Nice stuff Jonathon! It looks like we might have waited too long for our trip north! It appears to be peaking up your way.

Very nice pictures of a very pretty pond. I too have been getting out quite a bit, enjoying the fall colors and the last good warm-water fishing of the year. I love October, I think it's easily the best month of the year!
