{Tidal Potomac Fly Rodders} Re: What species is this?

It's likely a Hexagenia - they are mighty damn large. They also taste good with single malt chaser. ;-) 
Your specimen looks to me like it might be a Hexagenia rigida, a/k/a Great Olive-Winged Drake - more info at TroutNut.com (definitely a go-to site for fish bugs), http://bit.ly/16IXrT8
