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.

Ok, this is the coolest bug porn I've ever seen. Many thanks. Is this a UK mayfly? Are there more videos like this??
When I was first learning to fly fish my instructor scooped a Stenacron nymph out of the water where we were fishing and we watched the dun hatch in his hand. I'll never forget it.

Hi, Louis,
just checked and see that vid is from Norway.
We have Claret duns here in the UK too, almost exclusively in peaty lakes.
Dunno about more footage, there's a stack of stuff on Yutubw
that was a goody, for sure.
