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.
Educate me, please.
but how can I tell the difference?

Take your favorite Grannom pattern, Elk Hair, X-Caddis, etc and tie them in a few different sizes...You could have a dark winged caddis out there from say a size 14-20...Maybe even the Little Black Caddis (Chimarra) 18-22.
No one said it would be easy. :) We'll make a dry-fly guy out of you yet. ;)
But as far as the fishing goes, keep it simple.
Spence, I have to keep reminding you that I didn't fall anywhere. I was looking for bugs on the stream bottom.
