    Default Where have you seen or heard there are Hexagenia mayflies.

    Fall river has always been the most iconic location.

    We have them on Lake Natomas.


    Help me make a list.

    I remember taking my mom to dinner 25 years ago or so in Folsom. A bunch of hex were on the wall of one of the buildings, and she exclaimed “Oh my gosh, Canadian Soldiers!” She remembered them coming off Lake Erie by the millions when she was a little girl in Cleveland (late 30’s and early 40’s, covering the store fronts and making the streets slick.

    On the flip side, I’ve lived on the north shore of Natoma for five years and haven’t seen one since I’ve lived here. I fished them at Willow Creek in the 80’s and early nineties, but they seem to have disappeared. I’ve walked the bike trail on lots of June and July evenings, not a rise, nada.

    Maybe that is why we have small yellow poppers for panfish?

    To name a few, Almanor is famous for the Hex hatch and not to far away Butt Valley Reservoir. Lake Davis has been getting some hatches as well, the Thermalito Afterbay too!

    Butt Valley
    Thermaleto Afterbay

    I know they have them back in the northeast US.

    They get swarm that can be seen from space.

    Bill,

    You forgot about the Famous "Williamson River" in southern Oregon.
