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.

Epeorus albertae (Pink Lady) Mayfly Nymph Epeorus albertae (Pink Lady) Mayfly Nymph

Dorsal view of a Epeorus albertae (Heptageniidae) (Pink Lady) Mayfly Nymph from the East Fork Issaquah Creek in Washington

This specimen keys to the Epeorus albertae group of species. Of the five species in that group, the two known in Washington state are Epeorus albertae and Epeorus dulciana. Of the two, albertae has been collected in vastly more locations in Washington than dulciana, suggesting it is far more common. On that basis alone I'm tentatively putting this nymph in albertae, with the large caveat that there's no real information to rule out dulciana.

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.

Biography & Thoughts

At Trident Fly Fishing, we’re gear junkies. We had to drive for hours in search of the perfect rod only to find that we couldn’t actually cast it in store. We wanted to change the way you thought about buying fly fishing equipment.

Rodmakers have been making rods lighter and more accurate every year. It’s time that someone changed the way you shop for your next rod. So, we created the first website in the fly fishing industry which allows you to quickly find exactly what you’re looking for. Want to compare 9’ 5-weights? No problem. Looking for a reel with a sealed cork drag? It’s only 3 clicks away. Innovation shouldn’t just be for your gear - but how you buy it.
