Hexagenia limbata...probably. We don't see these up here until the middle/end of June. That's the time to be trout fishing at dusk.

What glass were you using on this? There's excellent DOF. I'm assuming it was a long lens at f/5.6 or so to get that kind of depth. I've tried shooting with the 105mm Macro and to get this close, I lose all sorts of depth of field in macro mode. I thought I'd try it again with the 200mm at a greater distance. Any hints? There are no Exif details to help me out.

Check out the Hexagenia I shot two summer's ago in Michigan: http://public.fotki.com/LesTension/fauna/insectsother_arthropods/hexagenia_sp_04.html

Mike,

180mm lens on 1.3 crop factor sensor at about f8 or f11. Exif info at office. Can't readily see how to include exif info in Fotki. Is there a particular setting within FOTKI settings?
