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.

This little pool in update New York is enjoyed by many tourists every day, and it still holds a few trout -- stockers mostly, but you can't complain about the setting!

This one was surprisingly straightforward to identify. The lack of a sclerite at the base of the lateral hump narrows the field quite a bit, and the other options followed fairly obvious characteristics to Clostoeca, which only has one species, Clostoeca disjuncta.

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.

I recently went on a Fly-Fishing Vacation to the Eastern Sierras of CA where I met with fellow anglers from our fly-fishing club named... Amador Fly Fishers. I brought along a new addition to my cameras, a Nikon Coolpix Waterproof Camera. I was quite impressed with the results, as can be seen above... a 14" Rainbow.

Regards,

Don

Don, very nice photo. I will to check that camera out, while I don't have the talent for taking pics like some you guys I would like something besides cell phone pics. Please show more examples of pictures and maybe some thoughts on this camera.

Mike:

I did a fair amount of research on waterproof cameras before I purchased this model. For a point-and-shoot camera, it does a remarkable job. And the GPS tagging is a very useful feature that is included in the camera. Considering all the features, including 1080P Video, its a lot of camera for the price. I would recommend this model to any fisherman that wants a feature rich reliable camera... that can take the water and keep shooting.
