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 Skwala nymph still has a couple months left to go before hatching, but it's still a good representative of its species, which was extremely abundant in my sample for a stonefly of this size. It's obvious why the Yakima is known for its Skwala hatch.
Hello!
This mayfly was found into my city, Zaragoza, in NE Spain, in a river forest (poplars, oxes, etc) The river (Ebro river) is great, deep, slow and contaminated. The picture (sorry by the poor quality) is taked at April. Two cerci, about 2 cm wingspan, veis marked in dark, at least in coastal area.
It's possible to identify? Could be an Ecdyonurus?
