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.

Thanks, you're right on the genus for sure. There's no fibrilliform portion on gill 7, and the tails only have spines at the segments. I'd guess you're right on the species too but I don't know.

It's difficult to be certain of the species, Jason. If reliable keys to the nymphs exist, I haven't seen them, and McCafferty (2004) says that some of the species are "questionably valid."
