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.

I caught this tiny larva without a case, but it seems to key pretty clearly to to Glossosomatidae. From there, the lack of sclerites on the mesonotum points to either Glossosoma or Anagapetus. Although it's difficult to see in a 2D image from the microscope, it's pretty clear in the live 3D view that the pronotum is only excised about 1/3 of its length to accommodate the forecoxa, not 2/3, which points to Glossosoma at Couplet 5 of the Key to Genera of Glossosomatidae Larvae.

Hello all you PA fly fishers! Recently I saw in the PA Fish & Boat magazine that there will be a change in the trout stamp and Erie steelhead permit beginning January 01, 2015. Beginning on that date any senior who has not bought his lifetime license prior to 12/31/2014 will have to buy a new trout stamp and Erie steelhead permit every year. However if you happen to have already turned 65 years of age, or will be turning 65 before the end of 2014, you might want to consider buying your lifetime license, trout stamp, and Erie permit now as you will be granfathered and be safe from having to buy it every year.
I bought my combo license back in 2009 and paid a few dollars extra to get the one that resembles a credit card.
