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 wild-looking little thing completely puzzled me. At first I was thinking beetle or month larva, until I got a look at the pictures on the computer screen. I made a couple of incorrect guesses before entomologist Greg Courtney pointed me in the right direction with Psychodidae. He suggested a possible genus of Thornburghiella, but could not rule out some other members of the tribe Pericomini.

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.

My buddy Nate and I had a couple days off work and ventured into spring creek country to do some car camping. Fishing was excellent for mid-summer and we found some genuinely gorgeous water and brown trout. Armed with only our iPhones, we caught a bit of the excursion on tape, and put together our first little video edit. While realizing that we're new at this kind of thing and are using semi-shitty equipment, we still had a ton of fun putting it together over a few beers, cheap red wine, and pipe tobacco.

Hope you enjoy:
