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.
Troutnut is a project started in 2003 by salmonid ecologist Jason "Troutnut" Neuswanger to help anglers and fly tyers unabashedly embrace the entomological side of the sport. Learn more about Troutnut or support the project for an enhanced experience here.

Shawn (and Casey) for my wet-footed sprint out of the Beaver/Espy property that evening on the J. (I was worried about keeping Shawn and his brother waiting) I found a sturdy stick that saved my neck and ankles several times in the dark.

JW. I found an inexpensive red LED hat light, and a Loon UV light, both of which I used one evening in the Gamelands. I don't know if the glow spinner helped me hook the 16 inch brown that took the wet sulphur dropped off the spinner's bend, but the red light and the Loon UV to activate worked like a charm, keeping my night vision intact and quickly charging the fly. Thanks for helping work this out. Those Falling Spring spinner eaters will be toast next season. I'm assuming the lower stream and your spot is over for the year, but we'll need to do some more field testing next June for sure. That is unless you know of a spot to try after a day of Trico and terrestrial fishing. I do have some 18's.
