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.

I was not fishing, but happened to be at an unrelated social event on a hill above this tiny creek (which I never even saw) when this stonefly flew by me. I assume it came from there. Some key characteristics are tricky to follow, but process of elimination ultimately led me to Sweltsa borealis. It is reassuringly similar to this specimen posted by Bob Newell years ago. It is also so strikingly similar to this nymph from the same river system that I'm comfortable identifying that nymph from this adult. I was especially pleased with the closeup photo of four mites parasitizing this one.

I am looking for the post that has a link to the fly tying website that teaches how to weave embroidery thread. Sorry if I was not that clear, but that is all that I remembered from it.

Hey Sam,
I think this is the thread you're looking for.

In the future, there are two ways you can find old threads.
1. If you contributed - Go to your personal profile page ("my home" button, just to the right of "Welcome...") and scroll through your topic list.
2. If you didn't contribute (or don't remember if you did) - go to the little box just below the "log out/my home" buttons. There enter in a key word (in this case embroidery) and click on the little google button.
Hope this helps!
