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 to the Epeorus albertae group of species. Of the five species in that group, the two known in Washington state are Epeorus albertae and Epeorus dulciana. Of the two, albertae has been collected in vastly more locations in Washington than dulciana, suggesting it is far more common. On that basis alone I'm tentatively putting this nymph in albertae, with the large caveat that there's no real information to rule out dulciana.

Have you ever wanted a strike indicator that has a feather like touch on the water? The answer just might be water bomb ballons. These ballons, available on line or at most part supply stores, are inexpensive, extremely light, and simple to use. Another great quality is you can make them any size you want. All a person has to do is blow up the ballon to the desired size, tie it off like any other ballon, and then attach it to the leader with two haft hitches. To remove it pull or cut off the ballon the haft hitches should just fall out releasing the ballon. A bag of 60 ballons that cost less than $2
