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.

Landon-

it's been a couple days on this so I'm taking a shot at it,

I'd suggest you look up local fly shops- if any in the area of this stream- and check their fishing reports for latest conditions etc.
Based on older correspondence and posts from WI anglers- along with some similarities with MI- I'd hazard that temps are higher and flows are lower, this is in keeping with the time of year and all...could be sketchy fishing.
If you got out I hope you hooked into something, and welcome to a most educational and friendly site- hope to hear more from you!

See if this might help. I've used it in the past but mainly for flow. It may take some time to figure out how to use it.

When asked what I just caught that monster on I showed him. He put on his magnifiers and said, "I can't believe they can see that."
