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.

Some characteristics from the microscope images for the tentative species id: The postero-lateral projections are found only on segment 9, not segment 8. Based on the key in Jacobus et al. (2014), it appears to key to Neoleptophlebia adoptiva or Neoleptophlebia heteronea, same as this specimen with pretty different abdominal markings. However, distinguishing between those calls for comparing the lengths of the second and third segment of the labial palp, and this one (like the other one) only seems to have two segments. So I'm stuck on them both. It's likely that the fact that they're immature nymphs stymies identification in some important way.
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.

Todd,

When you go to add a topic to the Photography Forum, there should be two boxes below where you type your message. One says "Save and Add Pictures," and the other says "Submit Post." Just click on the "Save and Add Pictures" button, and you'll be able to browse to the picture on your hard drive and add a caption if so desired.

As far as the two pictures I posted as well as any I might post in the future, I have no problems with you using them.

Jason has a lot of pictures formatted in the common wallpaper sizes under the "Desktop Backgrounds" link at the top of the main page. The fastest way to set pictures as your background is to right click on them and click the "Set as Desktop Background" option. Another way is to actually save the picture on your hard drive, right click on your desktop, select the "Properties" option, and then select the picture your desktop background.

Hope that helps.

Chris.
