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.

Fun stuff! Next is seeing how they act in and on the water, and what the trout think. You're on your way.

Those look very nice. Now, get out on the water and fish 'em! And please post photos if you do well. Also, welcome to Troutnut!

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

Your pictures are as good as anyone else's and your fly tying skills are going to get better and better the more you tie and also continue reading good fly tying books so you can increase your skills.
