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 resembled several others of around the same size and perhaps the same species, which were pretty common in my February sample from the upper Yakima. Unfortunately, I misplaced the specimen before I could get it under a microscope for a definitive ID.

Hello all you PA fly fishers! Recently I saw in the PA Fish & Boat magazine that there will be a change in the trout stamp and Erie steelhead permit beginning January 01, 2015. Beginning on that date any senior who has not bought his lifetime license prior to 12/31/2014 will have to buy a new trout stamp and Erie steelhead permit every year. However if you happen to have already turned 65 years of age, or will be turning 65 before the end of 2014, you might want to consider buying your lifetime license, trout stamp, and Erie permit now as you will be granfathered and be safe from having to buy it every year.
I bought my combo license back in 2009 and paid a few dollars extra to get the one that resembles a credit card.
