question about steelhead rainbow and rainbow

I caught a 20 inch chromer on the feather (hundreds and hundreds of
miles from the ocean) in january and someone suctioned his stomach, and
he had a TON of mayflies in him, like 20.


Damn -- let's hear those cheeseheads blather on about the size of
their Hexagenia after they see a hundred pound mayfly.

****, we got mosquitoes that'll snack on 20 mayflies while waiting for
something good to turn up.

ask jeffie.

Kevin,

I used to look at SER's or "significant event reports" for nukes and I
recall one in particular that caught my eye maybe 15 or 20 years ago. The
plant at LaCrosse, Wisconsin, reported an unscheduled shutdown due to an
electrical short in a transformer. The cause was identified as a large
number of mayflies landing on or being driven onto it during a rainstorm.
It must have been one hell of a hatch to do that. I don't know if they were
Hexagenia, the report did not identify the species g. Note: I am not a
cheesehead and have no reason to boast about their mayfly hatches.

i still have the puncture wounds. hell, those wisconsin mosquitoes
sucked blood from trout on the rise in addition to rodeoing on the
mayflies. that they perch on stinging nettles while awaiting a blood
donor should have been a clue...

One occasionally hears stories about communities near the Mississippi
or the Wisconsin having to remove the Hexagenias from the roads with
snow plows. I've never seen them that thick myself but I've seen
hatches heavy enough to make it seem plausible. The bug in your story
would undoubtedly be the Hex.

When Jeff Miller was here last June we had a couple of Hexagenias fly
into our camp on the first night. We had a hard time convincing him
that it they really were mayflies.

bats are hairy.....mayflies ain't.

given the company and the alien environment... i'm still skeptical. g
huge thing!! if they ever mutate to carnivores, wisconsin will be a
wasteland. i'd love to see the fish dining on those bat-sized bugs
though...
