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 resembled several others of around the same size and perhaps the same species, which were pretty common in my February sample from the upper Yakima. Unfortunately, I misplaced the specimen before I could get it under a microscope for a definitive ID.
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.

No April fools today!

I hope it's alright to post videos on here. The only problem is it's from my youtube channel. The first video is from that giant I landed last week. The second is from a solid male I fought and lost today.





The pictures posted are from today, 7 for 13. My best day Steelheading for total number caught in an afternoon.
