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 specimen keys pretty easily to Onocosmoecus, and it closely resembles a specimen from Alaska which caddis expert Dave Ruiter recognized as this genus. As with that specimen, the only species in the genus documented in this area is Onocosmoecus unicolor, but Dave suggested for that specimen that there might be multiple not-yet-distinguished species under the unicolor umbrella and it would be best to stick with the genus-level ID. I'm doing the same for this one.

I am wondering if there is a boot that would work with waders that cam be both a hiking boot and a fly fishing boot. If so, any suggestions?

Most modern wading boots are based on hiking boot designs. I use mine in the summer with a pair of wading socks once the water (& air!) get too warm for waders. Unless you have felt soles, which don't have much gripping power on land, most wading boots have enough divots on the sole to grip terrain. You might just have to clean the mud off of them once you're done...

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