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.

Wow!..Looks beautiful. I use to live in a big home, made of limestone with a light blue streak through it that came from a quarry in Ohio. We had the home built, and I watched them drop off piles of these blue limestone rocks on our property, and the bricks were chiseled right on the property.
