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.

Hey guys I'm stationed in South Korea and limited to the buses/trains here (lower enlisted not allowed to have POV's)

I have decided that wading pants and boots will be the best bet... I will just wear them on the bus haha

But I will need a daypack or chest pack to fit all of my gear for the day! I want a pack with a larger back portion for lunch, etc and then smaller front pockets for actually fishing (fly boxes, tools etc.)

What do you guys think is the best bet for all of this gear considering I will need to ride a bus? In America I've just driven to the river and parked by the road... Something too many fisherman take for granted :p

As an edit to this post, i recently discovered tech vests!

I made a lowball offer for one (average of $150 is out of my price range) and surprisingly they let me have this one for $70!

In the mail now, will see how it works for my overseas-fishing situation
