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 lead to Couplet 35 of the Key to Genera of Perlodidae Nymphs and the genus Isoperla, but I'm skeptical that's correct based on the general look. I need to get it under the microscope to review several choices in the key, and it'll probably end up a different Perlodidae.
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.

I just (mostly) finished programming the code I need to quickly move topics from one part of this forum to another. That's one of the administrative tools I left out in order to finish the overall site more quickly.

Anyway, if you come to one of the sections looking for a topic you've written and it's not there, it was probably just moved to a more fitting section. I haven't removed anything yet; it's all just been re-filed.

I'm trying to keep topics about a specific hatch in the "Fly Hatch Talk" forum listed under the correct taxon, so that people browsing the page for that hatch in the "Aquatic Insects" section can see the discussion. Topics about a specific specimen go with that specimen discussion, and general topics go in this general discussion section.

I had sort of hoped to make it clear and intuitive enough that people would post everything in the right section on their own, and in most cases that's happened, but I've had a surprising amount of manual reorganizing to do. If anybody has an idea for making the topic section thing more intuitive, feel free to post it.
