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'll be going out to New Mexico early this June tot fish the Pecos river. Has anyone out there had any experience fly fishing this waterway that can provide tips, best stretches to fish, pitfalls, etc. Any insights would be most appreciated!

Sorry I've never fished it and didn't even know it was a trout fishery. If I were you I'd do a lot of Googling "Pecos River fly fishing" and trying to find out if there are any fly shops in the area that might be able to give you some good information.
