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.

Hey everyone, I have recently found this fishing forum and checked it out a little bit. Seems pretty cool! I really enjoy fly fishing myself and tying my own flies. I'm from Central Utah. I look forward to viewing this forum!

To post pictures you need an account with one of those web sites like Photobucket, Flickr, or any of that ilk. Then when u upload photos from your camera, or "pictures" file to that site you can then "copy" the picture and insert it into a thread you start at Troutnut.com Just remember to change the suffix and prefix IMG to lower case img and your pictures should be visible to all. If I missed anything I'm sure other forum members will gladly make their comments.

When asked what I just caught that monster on I showed him. He put on his magnifiers and said, "I can't believe they can see that."

Hi Bigtrout -
Welcome to the forum.
Yes, it works for me anyway without any alterations. There are multiple options for file type with PB so be sure to highlight the one that starts with {IMG}, copy it and insert in the post body and you are there!
Regards,
Kurt
