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 species was fairly abundant in a February sample of the upper Yakima.

Southeast Minnesota was ravaged by floods this weekend. Their was an incredible 16 inches of rain in a 24 hour period in a town called Lewiston. Six people have died in the flood waters. There is one marginal stream that I'm very concerned about. It doesn't have very good natural reproduction to begin with and when i saw boulders 50 feet or more on the bank i don't think the trout could have done very well, let alone the streams invertabrate population.
