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 lead to Couplet 35 of the Key to Genera of Perlodidae Nymphs and the genus Isoperla, but I'm skeptical that's correct based on the general look. I need to get it under the microscope to review several choices in the key, and it'll probably end up a different Perlodidae.

Hi All,
I've been getting kind of anxious, lately. In my case, painting helps. So, I thought I'd share my latest with you.

WOW!! I wish I had a talent such as yours. I am awful at drawing and most other forms of "mainstream" art, but wow this really makes me appreciate the art of fly fishing even more.

Hi Jamie,
I am an alumni of Syracuse University-College of Visual and Performing Arts. How are things on campus?

I love it here. It is only my first year here, but I am staying quite busy. As you may have seen in a few of my early posts I started up a fly fishing club for ESF and SU and I have high plans for it. I also play rugby which takes up plenty of my time and I am on the SU outing club. I could not picture myself at any other school... its just too bad that the basketball team did so poorly. Nice to hear that you are an Alum. If you come to town at all let me know and maybe we can cast a line.
