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 seems to lead to Couplet 35 of the Key to Genera of Perlodidae Nymphs and the genus Isoperla, but I'm skeptical that's correct based on the general look. I need to get it under the microscope to review several choices in the key, and it'll probably end up a different Perlodidae.

Hey everyone. I am new to Hood River, OR. I know there is great fishing here (one of the main reasons I'm here), and would love to meet some of you who fish the Hood, Deschutes, John Day and Sandy rivers. Take it easy.
Fishing is not a matter of life or death. It's more important.

Welcome to the forum, JonT. Sorry for the delayed greeting. You weren't being dissed - it's just that few of our regular contributors hail from that country at this point. I don't live in the area, though I've fished the Deschutes quite a bit. Do you have any questions?
