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.

Biography & Thoughts
I live in Canada's Southwest coast and took up flyfishing about 12 years ago. I enjoy fishing for any species with single and double hand rods, lake, river, small stream and tropical fishing. The small stream fishing being my favorite way to go. I also enjoy tying flies. Art and painting has been an integral part of my life with fish related subjects taking over since I took up this sport.
