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.

I caught a nice brookie a few weeks earlier in this pool at the junction of a split channel in the stream. The huge fallen tree is great cover.

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.

Greetings, Mike! You'll find this site to be a lot of fun and some very interesting discussions, including some members' very nice photography of insects and the fish they catch by imitating them!

No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere...

Hi all!
I'm too new to the forum. Been fishing (fly) seriously for about two years and not so seriously for about 12 off and on. Realized i was obsessed last year while trying to color coordinate some gear.

Why is there not a specific place here for intros? Or maybe i missed it.

LooseKnot, been hitting bear creek this year with some fun little browns, waterton is still closed-ish but is one of my favorite places close by.

Adapt and overcome
