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.

As far as I can tell, this species has only previously been reported from one site in Oregon along the Columbia gorge. However, the key characteristics are fairly unmistakable in all except for one minor detail:
— 4 small yellow spots on frons visible in photos
— Narrow occipital spinule row curves forward (but doesn’t quite meet on stem of ecdysial suture, as it's supposed to in this species)
— Short spinules on anterior margin of front legs
— Short rposterior row of blunt spinules on abdominal tergae, rather than elongated spinules dorsally
I caught several of these mature nymphs in the fishless, tiny headwaters of a creek high in the Wenatchee Mountains.

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

Hi Coroi-
Have downloaded the app to my smartphone, and successfully set up a test checklist. I really like the app's simplicity and ease of use.
