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 one pretty clearly keys to Kogotus, but it also looks fairly different from specimens I caught in the same creek about a month later in the year. With only one species of the genus known in Washington, I'm not sure about the answer to this ID.
27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.

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.

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
{img src=http://...whatever.jpg}
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.
Best regards,
