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.

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.
Troutnut is a project started in 2003 by salmonid ecologist Jason "Troutnut" Neuswanger to help anglers and fly tyers unabashedly embrace the entomological side of the sport. Learn more about Troutnut or support the project for an enhanced experience here.

Biography & Thoughts
I'm 31 years old. New father to 6 month old twin boys, and besides them, Fly Fishing and Tying for Trout is LIFE! I live in North Georgia where the grass is greener and fishing is all year round. I'm always looking for new friends to talk fishing with and share what we've learned with each other.
