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 resembled several others of around the same size and perhaps the same species, which were pretty common in my February sample from the upper Yakima. Unfortunately, I misplaced the specimen before I could get it under a microscope for a definitive ID.

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!
