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.

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.

My first native Arctic Grayling caught outside of Alaska! It was one of a few I caught around that size, while my wife caught a bigger one around 15 inches.

This brook trout measured a bit over 14".
The only mountain whitefish of the trip. I caught it nymphing the bottom of a pool so deep I could tell there were fish but couldn't tell what kind. They were whitefish.
My longest brook trout yet, 16 1/8".
