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 species was fairly abundant in a February sample of the upper Yakima.
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.
Troutnut is a project started in 2003 by salmonid ecologist Jason "Troutnut" Neuswanger to help anglers and fly tyers unabashedly embrace the entomological side of the sport. Learn more about Troutnut or support the project for an enhanced experience here.

Congratulations on the paper, Luke! Thanks for all your hard work and sharing it with us.

This study certainly presents a can of worms.

Well, I guess it has to be opened. No sense us anglers pretending it's not there (though I can't say I'm looking forward to the editing on the hatch pages that's probably gonna be required). :)

Wow! Thanks, Luke. It's a big world, esp when we're looking at small critters.

Here are some now published results from the request I put out a few years ago. This study certainly presents a can of worms. Thank you to all who helped by sending a few specimens. I regret we could not name everyone in text. Happy reading.

Very nice, Luke. The paper provides (116) State and Province distributions of which I was previously unaware. Although that's not the purpose of the paper, it's extremely helpful to me none-the-less, and I really appreciate your having shared it. See N. American Mayfly Distribution Query.
