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.

Happy New year Troutnutters
They fasten red (crimson red) wool around a hook, and fix onto the wool two feathers which grow under a cock’s wattles, and which in colour are like wax.

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you Troutnutters! Let's hope 2011 is a better year than 2010, even though I did catch some really nice fish this year. 2010 wasn't really a good year for me, as every time I thought I was FINALLY going back to work, it got delayed or cancelled. I am anticipating moving to northern lower Michigan in the next few weeks to start my life up again. I will be in Fishing Central up there what with the AuSable, the Rifle, the AuGres, the Pine, etc...not to mention lakes and many warmwater fisheries, and Lake Huron itself. That will hopefully make up for the last three unemployed years of my life.
Here's wishing you all tight lines and dancing trout (or your favorite warnmwater species) on the end of them in the year ahead!!!!

No matter how big the one you just caught is, there's always a bigger one out there somewhere...

Happy New Year everyone!
I believe it will be quite happy for this nut at least.
Within the next couple of weeks, plane tickets will be paid.
Destination; Big Sky Country, US.
A long way from home.

Somewhere, right now, a fish is rising.

Happy New Year to all my virtual buddies. Here's to another great year of buggy questions and answers, and those priceless observations on the angling world in general!
