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 seems to be a young larva of Limnephilus. Although not clear in the picture, several ventral abdominal segments have chloride epithelia.

I'm always confused by what size scud hook correlates to a regular shank dry fly hook. Just ask Antonio. I know he gets tired of me asking him. Is there a chart?

They should tell you on the box....1x short, or 2x short meaning 2 hook sizes.
But how far around the shank do you apply body material? I consider this slightly arbitrary.
