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 seems to be a young larva of Limnephilus. Although not clear in the picture, several ventral abdominal segments have chloride epithelia.

Trying to get a picture posted here, but Tuesday was a good day. Didn't start fishing till noon as I was staying till dark. Caught several fish, and then a real nice one, all fish came on 14 yellow drake. About 9:00 pm a big caddis hatch, but mine were totally ignored. I'm going to try some different caddis patterns this week. Hope everyone is getting out and enjoying themselves.
