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 view of the pipeline, the Atigun River, and an impressive sunset/rise was one of my first views of the North Slope as I came through Atigun Pass in the middle of the night.

Epeorus albertae (Pink Lady) Mayfly Nymph Epeorus albertae (Pink Lady) Mayfly Nymph

Dorsal view of a Epeorus albertae (Heptageniidae) (Pink Lady) Mayfly Nymph from the East Fork Issaquah Creek in Washington

This specimen keys to the Epeorus albertae group of species. Of the five species in that group, the two known in Washington state are Epeorus albertae and Epeorus dulciana. Of the two, albertae has been collected in vastly more locations in Washington than dulciana, suggesting it is far more common. On that basis alone I'm tentatively putting this nymph in albertae, with the large caveat that there's no real information to rule out dulciana.

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.

Fishing Checklist: Android App

In my free time I like to develop Android apps, and lately I've been developing an Fishing checklist application for Android devices.

The idea of the app is to have all the items that you want to take with you on your fishing trips in one place, and mark them as checked as you pack them, so you don't forget anything.

The application has a default list of items that I considered useful, but you can also add your own.

I would like to further develop this app to make it more useful, so I would appreciate any feedback from you guys. What extra features would you like to see in such an app? What other items would you add to the checklist? Thanks in advance!

Here is the Google play link for the application:Â https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mmproductions.fishingchecklist
