The famous nocturnal Hex hatch of the Midwest (and a few other lucky locations) stirs to the surface mythically large brown trout that only touch streamers for the rest of the year.

We have a local fly shop owner here that once told me that the West Branch was the best dry-fly stream east of the Mississippi.
Here are the stats:
4 12-13”
3 16”
2 20”
