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.

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.

Hey man, we still have nine more days in our regular trout season here in Michigan! Got three nice brookies last night including an 11-incher...and you're showing us SNOW??? (OK, the water was pretty cold...) We've also got our very first fall colors showing...salmon begining to run...ain't you got any of those??

No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere...

Sorry, can't yank any pics. ;) I should add a bunch of new ones to the rotation sometime... I have some good ones! At least you're seeing September/October snow, not February pics yet.
