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 one pretty clearly keys to Kogotus, but it also looks fairly different from specimens I caught in the same creek about a month later in the year. With only one species of the genus known in Washington, I'm not sure about the answer to this ID.

Well Just got a new set up a couple weeks ago. It is a 9ft. 8wt. Redington Cross water. I just got the rod, and bought a different reel of it and together it was just over $300. It is by far, out of my 2 other fly rod set ups the best one I have! Especually for the price!! If you are looking to get set up for the right price I highly recommend it!
