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 specimen resembled several others of around the same size and perhaps the same species, which were pretty common in my February sample from the upper Yakima. Unfortunately, I misplaced the specimen before I could get it under a microscope for a definitive ID.

Hello All,
I made a video that tells the story of a great, secret fishing spot that no longer exists. Hope you enjoy.

Nice video Pete. I know how special places like that can be. I have one of my own, but it's a bit more hidden.
Those were lovely fish, and decent size too.
