Ephoron

This appears to be an Ephoron nymph.

Lloyd Gonzales comment:

Ephoron is a relatively slender, pale whitish burrower nymph that lacks the degree of tibial flanging found in this specimen. Looks like Hexagenia to me.

It was friendly enough to let me scoop it up for some pictures, so I would say you are right! It got put right back in the water to continue it's swim, so I am sure it was happy too.

The front legs look very simi

The front legs look very similar to a mole cricket. But mole crickets aren't aquatic..... I'm assuming that mole cricket larva aren't aquatic either, correct?

I took the liberty of cropping your pic.

Only you and the editors can see the full-size image. Everyone else is left looking at a little bug in a great big background. :)
