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 resembled several others of around the same size and perhaps the same species, which were pretty common in my February sample from the upper Yakima. Unfortunately, I misplaced the specimen before I could get it under a microscope for a definitive ID.
27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.

I just made a little code change that should make it much easier to read the posts on the forum without having to squint or follow along with a little piece of paper to keep yourself on the right line.

Any objections?

Jason-

Not sure what the change was, but I assume you must have increased the font size. If that's the case, it certainly looks good to me.

Font size is the same. I increased the spacing between the lines.
