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.

Caddisflies, Selective Trout, and Hatches II are good places to start. Beyond that, you'd have to give more detail about what you're looking for.

Jeff-
Perhaps you would find Entomology Bookshelf, an article I wrote for Hatches Magazine, will help you to compare them.

Thanks for the info, I have been tying for many years and have wanted to start learning more when I'm turning over rocks so that I can determine what bugs are what. So any kind of information would work. thanks again.. this is a great site to learn from to..

It's a little out of date (1981), but Aquatic Entomology, by W. P. McCafferty, has some excellent pictures and an easy-to-use key to families.

"NATURALS" COVERS IT ALL PRETTY GOOD, NOT A LOT OF PRETTY PICTURES, JUST GOOD ENTOMOLOGY.
