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 one seems to tentatively key to Holocentropus, although I can't make out the anal spines in Couplet 7 of the Key to Genera of Polycentropodidae Larvae nor the dark bands in Couplet 4 of the Key to Genera of Polycentropodidae Larvae, making me wonder if I went wrong somewhere in keying it out. I don't see where that could have happened, though. It might also be that it's a very immature larva and doesn't possess all the identifying characteristics in the key yet. If Holocentropus is correct, then Holocentropus flavus and Holocentropus interruptus are the two likely possibilities based on range, but I was not able to find a description of their larvae.

The Jodea is EPIC. I got one a month ago and I will tell all you that if you like having a portable carrier that you can not lose this is it. Handling mayflies is tricky when you are seriously collecting for science and sometimes people may like small independant containers. But if you fly fish and collect a few every trip to post here, the Jodea is exactly what you need. I told Jeremiah I was going to give him excellent input towards considering another model of the same unit that is geared to the serious collector guy like me.
I even have a Canadian store chain that has looked at it with interest.
The black flies have forced me to just collecting so far. But in a few weeks I will be up north and fishing YEEeeee. I am going to film a HD video on this product to show how we in north America would use it. It is so well made you would not believe me until you see it. www.thejodea.com
It is truly is EPIC.
