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.

I fly fished today with a great fly angler John D. We went after lake-run browns and Steelhead. We landed ten total fish. 2 Steelhead and 8 lake-run Brown Trout. All caught on egg and stonefly nymph patterns.

Overall, it was an incredible day!

Man, great fish. I'd love to visit you in the Yoop. I have friends that live in Romeo, MI, and even they're still 8 to 11 hours away from Escanaba.
