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.

With a bit of help from the microscope, this specimen keys clearly and unsurprisingly to Hydropsyche.
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.

You can look on Craigslist to see if any are being sold. If you PM me I will give you the email address of another fly fishing web site that has a classified section.

I recently sold a custom 7 1/2' #3 three piece rod that I built with top of the line TiN snake guides and a Fuji SIC stripper guide and a Bellinger nickel silver reel seat and black ash burl woos spacer for $150.

You should be able to get a used factory rod for $75-$85.

Cabelas Three Forks 3-piece 7 1/2' 3-weight...

Nice little rod, cheap as hell and perfect for small streams and ponds. Just used one tonight myself to haul in brookies and perch.

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