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 to the Epeorus albertae group of species. Of the five species in that group, the two known in Washington state are Epeorus albertae and Epeorus dulciana. Of the two, albertae has been collected in vastly more locations in Washington than dulciana, suggesting it is far more common. On that basis alone I'm tentatively putting this nymph in albertae, with the large caveat that there's no real information to rule out dulciana.

Not too shabby. I especially liked the grayling. Thanks.

I agree with Lewis on the Grayling. Where was it caught? I caught my first one ever in Montana this past summer, but it was a dink.

Nice looking fish - looks like some cohos/silvers so I'm pretty sure you caught most of those fish in Alaska. Neat to see the Plueger Medalist. The 1492 was my very first fly reel back around 1961.

Neal,
Where in Maryland are you from? My mom was born near Hutton just outside of Oakland. Garret Co. Caught my biggest ever Bluegill in Deep Creek Lake.
