Mayfly Species Baetis intercalaris
These are sometimes called Little Slate-Winged Brown Quills.
Mayfly Species Baetis brunneicolor
These are very rarely called Little Slate-Winged Brown Quills.
This is the largest common species of Baetis on our trout streams, and it can hatch in incredible numbers, drawing draw impressive rises of selective trout.
Anglers may have read in books about Baetis hiemalis, which is now a synonym (Synonym: A former name of a taxon, usually a species. Entomologists frequently discover that two insects originally described as different species are one in the same, and they drop one of the names. The dropped name is said to be a synonym of the remaining name. These changes take a while to trickle into the common knowledge of anglers; for example, Baetis vagans is now a synonym of Baetis tricaudatus.) of Baetis brunneicolor. It appears to have been a name for the fall-hatching brood of this species, which was reported to prefer slow water and weedy habitat instead of the gravelly riffles of the early summer brood.

These are very rarely called Little Slate-Winged Brown Quills.
This species may produce good hatches.
Mayfly Species Baetis flavistriga
These are very rarely called Little Slate-Winged Brown Quills.
This is one of the most widespread and abundant Baetis species, and it may produce fishable hatches under a variety of conditions.
This species is known in angling books by several old synonyms (Synonym: A former name of a taxon, usually a species. Entomologists frequently discover that two insects originally described as different species are one in the same, and they drop one of the names. The dropped name is said to be a synonym of the remaining name.

Mayfly Species Acentrella turbida
These are very rarely called Little Slate-Winged Brown Quills.
These tiny mayflies were once known by the name Pseudocloeon carolina, and in places their numbers compensate for their small size and make for excellent hatches.
