Hex Mayflies
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.

My father was a fly fisherman for most of his life. As a tribute, I am photographing the best of his flies - most tied by him. Unfortunately, he can't remember most of their names. If you know the name of a fly, please forward it to me :-)
