Hexagenia limbata

The famous nocturnal Hex hatch of the Midwest (and a few other lucky locations) stirs to the surface mythically large brown trout that only touch streamers for the rest of the year.

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.
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.

I have a budget of around $300 for this (I wish i had more), so I was looking at the Intova IC-700 7.0MP Digital Camera with Underwater Housing, 3x Optical Zoom, 4x Digital Zoom & 3" LCD, 180' Depth Rating.

Anyone have experience with this camera, or can they recommend another one in a similar price range?
