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 seems to be a young larva of Limnephilus. Although not clear in the picture, several ventral abdominal segments have chloride epithelia.

Biography & Thoughts
I have enjoyed the sport of fly fishing for over 40 years. Most of my experience has been in Northern California fishing for trout and steelhead. My favorite fishing spots are the Trinity River for Steelhead and Putah Creek for trout close by. I belong to the Peninsula Fly Fisher Club and have become active in the organization in the last few years (clubs are a great way to connect with fellow fly fishers and to continue to learn about the sport). My day job is in marketing & sales in the food industry, and my nights & weekends are taken up with Wader Skinsâ„¢ (my patented versatile aquatic system) that allows for safe wading and float tube fishing. My goal as I approach retirement age in the next few years is to get out and fish more and spend time launching Wader Skinsâ„¢.
