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 is the first of it's family I've seen, collected from a tiny, fishless stream in the Cascades. The three species of this genus all live in the Northwest and are predators that primarily eat stonefly nymphs Merritt R.W., Cummins, K.W., and Berg, M.B. (2019).
Troutnut is a project started in 2003 by salmonid ecologist Jason "Troutnut" Neuswanger to help anglers and
fly tyers unabashedly embrace the entomological side of the sport. Learn more about Troutnut or

The second picture in the series with Slope Mtn and the Pipeline in the background is actually Oksrukuyik Creek, not the Kuparuk River.

Thanks, you're right. I moved it into a new section for Oksrukuyik Creek.

I drive quite a bit between Prudhoe and Pump Station 4. I fish quite a bit between Pumps 3 & 4 and fished that stretch of the Oksukuyik a few times.
