Hex Mayflies
Hexagenia limbata

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.

This specimen resembled several others of around the same size and perhaps the same species, which were pretty common in my February sample from the upper Yakima. Unfortunately, I misplaced the specimen before I could get it under a microscope for a definitive ID.

27" brown trout, my largest ever. It was the sub-dominant fish in its pool. After this, I hooked the bigger one, but I couldn't land it.

A sworn to secrecy location that was filled with HUGE trout. Huge difficult trout--as I in I hooked ONE--and it was a freight train that was gone in a matter of seconds after taking a size 18 caddis emerger... Too warm to fish really well... Best fished further upriver and in the fall Waiting for the evening rise--if the wind and rain allow one...

Fishing with my nephew Marvin's biggest brown Marvin caught this walleye one evening. It was 26" (measured) A fish I had lost a few days before. Found him feeding in the same spot and managed to land him this time. My fish being released. He took a size 22 caddis on 7X, and took off like a shot when I let go of him.

Last steelhead trip of 2015 This is a picture of Cattaraugus Creek so you can get an idea of the size of it. It is a gorgeous river (they call it a creek but it is big water that could suck you down in a heartbeat) Check out cattaruagusoutfitters.com if you want to see more pictures of the river and some awesome steelhead.
