I believe that is a Baetis Intercalaris (Blue Winged Olive).

Just stay 50 f... wait, 100 fee.... no, better make it 250 feet away from me and everybody should make it out with no extra holes in their bodies! HA!
It's gonna depend on whether I can get off...
I might do this one. I'm newer to the boards, but this sounds like fun if you guys would have a relative newbie to fly fishing in your midst (today's my one-year anniversary of first getting on a...
Yeah, I don't know why it took me so long to make the leap to a hare's ear to specifically aim at bluegill. They used to kill the "waxworms" I cast as a boy at the local lake, so it just makes sense...
Had an unexpected experience with bluegills this past a.m. Went out onto tailwaters below a local dam to try for some holdover stocked 'bows and some smallies and had no luck for about two hours on...
Sad thing is, LadyFisher, I spent roughly an hour on the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife's website looking for just that prior to posting my original question. Couldn't find a thing. I come...
I've seen a lot of discussion here and elsewhere on the rights of the public to use waterways, i.e. fishing access through private property.
My question is: Does anyone know, or know somewhere I...
So I got my catalog today. :roll: So I pick it up and look at it. Apparently, my ordered "Fly Fishing Catalog" magically turned into the "Saltwater Fishing Catalog" somewhere between Cabela's and...
Honestly, if they weren't up against my favorite team, I'd be pulling for Cornell in the tournament at this point. I love seeing underdogs put the hurt on the big boys. I'll always support certain...
Nope. Sorry. Cornell did great this year, but their season's about to end.

Lotech, and others who are wondering how to get the fly fishing catalog. I just received the fishing (fly fishermen and women excluded) catalog from Cabela's today, but I really wanted to get the fly...
I would love, more than anything to support my "local" fly shop. Problem is I don't have a "local" fly shop. I live in an area where fly fishing is an anomaly, not the norm, and there's definitely...
The only catalog I receive is Bass Pro Shops. You wanna feel left out as a fly fisherman? Take a gander in there. They actually have some decent, decently-priced gear if you go to their website, but...
I thought about putting a fly rod in his hand at this age, but then I did some mental measurements. The smallest fly rod I have is 8' even. He's about 3' even. I'm thinking the extra 5' might throw...
Took my three-year-old fishing for the first time today. He got way less than an hour in before he was ready to go, and walked away without catching one, but had a great time, just the two of us (Mom...
Another one I found out recently: If there is anything remotely wrong with your vehicle, you will find out the second you attempt to start it as you attempt to leave the most remote area you fish.
Went and checked out the Drake forum. Heck, I figured I might as well. A couple of observations, though:
1. I was actually considering maybe subscribing to The Drake magazine, but am having second...
Having been a fly fisherman for less than a year, and a fly tier for a little more than a month, I, too, would like to thank everyone here. I've not asked any questions in this realm yet, but I know...
Found this via singlebarbed.com this a.m.
A story in the Wall Street Journal (http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052748703915204575103520836794314.html) talks about Switzerland's animal...
I just started tying two weeks ago this Wednesday, so I've been tying everything, ugly, but I've been tying everything I can with the materials I have. I've been using the materials that come in the...
Got the tails. Thanks again. Just another example of the invaluable nature of this site.
... and it involved very little drinking, well, not too much anyway.
Got my fly tying gear and starter kit last week, and have bought a bunch of stuff since. Wow. It's an amazing habit to have. I...
If it weren't for this site and the Flyfishing 101 section, I would never have had the information or confidence necessary to pick up a fly rod and reel last year. Now that I'm getting deeper into...
Great story. As a young-ish (not as much as I'd like, but, eh) guy, this definitely serves up a couple of good lessons to me.
Finally got out on my home river Saturday morning. No luck, a few VERY sluggish bites, but went home without catching a fish. Got some good casting practice and some time outdoors, so I can't...
