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 one seems to lead to Couplet 35 of the Key to Genera of Perlodidae Nymphs and the genus Isoperla, but I'm skeptical that's correct based on the general look. I need to get it under the microscope to review several choices in the key, and it'll probably end up a different Perlodidae.
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.

I know for a fact you sit at home in the evening cooking in your Easy Bake Oven and dressing up your transgender Ken Doll.


I've heard of anatomically correct dolls but what's transgender Ken, anatomically incorrect or anatomically ambiguous?

I guess I'd go with ambiguous. HA!

I apologize to all for starting this. Can we lock this thread down now before it sinks any lower.

Interesting pictures, food for thought, at least for the trout....and one shark. How about some photos of some flies of the mayfly or as Millcreek refers to the as: Drunella flavilinea, Ephemerella dorothea, Attenella soquele and to a lesser degree Serratella species. It is amazing how pretty these critters are when you see them "blown up."

Someone is tying these and it would be nice to see what they look like. Nothing like a well tied fly to hook into a trout thinking its about to eat a mayfly!
