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 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.

Well with the heat wave going on here in New York I was looking around on youtube and found some blood boiling videos you must see.They are all trout fishing on the fly with some good shots of bugs in the air on the water and in the water.If you are a troutnut you will want to see these. they were so good I watch them all twice.There is also one video they did for large mouth that is the best I have ever seen.
To get the videos just go to yuotube and type in T-motion catch magazine and they will come up enjoy I know I did.
