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 keys pretty easily to Onocosmoecus, and it closely resembles a specimen from Alaska which caddis expert Dave Ruiter recognized as this genus. As with that specimen, the only species in the genus documented in this area is Onocosmoecus unicolor, but Dave suggested for that specimen that there might be multiple not-yet-distinguished species under the unicolor umbrella and it would be best to stick with the genus-level ID. I'm doing the same for this one.
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.

A couple of us are looking at an early September fishing trip to one of the two rivers. I don't know much about either and any info would help. We're mainly interested in catching rainbows, but there's nothing wrong with dollies & grayling too. Salmon are of interest only so far as concentrating the others.
Thanks for any info.

Sorry, I can't help, but a group of us are planning on a trip out of Bethel in September 2014. We have looked at PAPABEAR ADVENTURES, TIKCHIK ADVENTURES AND FLOATALASKA. COM. All of these outfitters float those rivers and several others. Are you going guided of unguided? I would appreciate any info you can give me as feedback.
