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 one pretty clearly keys to Kogotus, but it also looks fairly different from specimens I caught in the same creek about a month later in the year. With only one species of the genus known in Washington, I'm not sure about the answer to this ID.

I live in York and normally head up to my place on the WB every week for three days but this week I have engagements here that are keeping me home. I was wondering if there is any point on going over to the Letort in the morning? Is there a meaningful Trico spinner fall over there and if so are there enough fish to bother driving there from York.
Does Clarks Creek have any morning to early afternoon hatches? Clarks is pretty but the dfew times I went there early in the season I didn't locate any fish in the fly area. Thanks.

Matt, the short answer about the Letort is "yes," though not necessarily due to the Tricos. To get me to say any more, you'd have to send me a PM. Louis would be the one to answer your questions about Clarks, though I'm not sure he'd 'fess up even in a PM.
