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.

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 guess beauty is in the eyes of the beholders! These guys are frequently waxing poetically about the "lovely fish". Maybe they don't have any other species. I'm a bit confused - the poster is from Viet Nam but I'm pretty sure the fish were caught in some lakes in England. The countryside surely looks more like what I'd expect inland England to look like and not the lush vegetation of tropical Viet Nam.
