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.
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

In my non fishing life, this is what I do. If you get a chance check this out and see what can be accomplished at a watershed level. It takes many interested and dedicated parties (and funding), but it works. http://vimeo.com/80934305

Very nice video, Eric. Nice to see a green landscape with people on it that can afford to care.

Nice production! This is the kind of positive, practical, results oriented work we need to see. An advertisement for/from the environmentalist community. Don't beat folks over the head and point fingers. Shows them how the little things can add up to something big. It can be done!
Thanks sir! I'm forwarding this link on to some people here in Michigan. A model for how it's done.
Thanks! Eric. Nice stuff.

Thanks Paul. I hear what you're saying and yes we take a lot for granted here.

Thanks Spence. The people at PSU did a really nice job with the video. I just do the bugs, coordinate some streambank restoration and manage some people for that particular project, but it really does illustrate what can be accomplished when there are enough parties that are willing to work together toward a common goal. We definitely benefit from being in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, some funding is there do actually do some work.
