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.

Had a good day Saturday.

Well I guess I can't figure out how to post pics... I've tried and tried, and just can't get it to work.
I'll see you down on the river...

Trevor-
On most forums, if you want to post a photo, it is necessary for that photo to already be resident on a server somewhere. There are numerous websites that provide that service for free. Perhaps the most popular of them is www.photobucket.com.
Once you have a photo uploaded, and know its address, then it is only necessary to properly surround the address with markup language wherever you want it to appear in your post. This takes the form of
except it is necessary to use square brackets rather than the curly brackets shown. The left square bracket is one key to the right of the letter P on the keyboard.
Alternatively, although I have not personally used this method, it is my impression that if you attach photo(s) to an email to Jason, he will upload the photos for you, and create a post that has the photo(s) in it. However, now that Jason is busy with graduate school, he likely has less time to do things like that, so I would recommend using the first method.
