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 appears to be of the same species as this one collected in the same spot two months earlier. The identification of both is tentative. This one suffered some physical damage before being photographed, too, so the colors aren't totally natural. I was mostly photographing it to test out some new camera setting idea, which worked really well for a couple of closeups.

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.

My then-girlfriend, now-wife took this picture with my camera. From Toughannock Creek in New York
I believe this is the highest free-falling waterfall in the East. The pool below it is off-limits to fishing but probably isn't that great, anyway -- by all accounts the stream's trout population is mediocre at best. From Toughannock Creek in New York

This gorge reportedly holds trout, and I would love to fish for them, although the stream's marginal thermal temperature would likely lead to disappointment. It's hard to find out because there doesn't seem to be a way to get down there without professional rock-climbing equipment or a helicopter... From Toughannock Creek in New York
It just feels wrong that no trout rose up from this ledge pool to smack a Royal Wulff. There doesn't seem to be much of a trout population here. From Toughannock Creek in New York

A dizzying waterfall. From Toughannock Creek in New York
The unique geology of the Finger Lakes region of upstate NY created this waterfall, pictured here during a drought that reduced the flow to a trickle. From Toughannock Creek in New York
Here I was unsuccessfully trying to find some lake-run fish that would have been stopped by the impressive barrier in the background. I didn't see any fish. From Toughannock Creek in New York
I cross a small river after an unsuccessful attempt to find some fall-run landlocked salmon. This picture was taken shortly after another very nice wider picture of the same spot. Photo by Elena Vayndorf. From Toughannock Creek in New York
