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.

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.

When the fishing lets up, I grab my Nikon and spend time shooting various subjects, usually lakes and rivers. I was traveling back home from a Fly Fishing trip in the Eastern Sierras of CA last month and decided to take a full day shooting images.

This is a shot across Silver Lake situated in the middle of the Sierras about 80 miles from Sacramento. This is Thunder Mountain... it sits north of Silver Lake between the lake and Kirkwood Ski Resort.

Enjoy,

Don
