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 have been fly fishing for 10 years now, and it is my main passion to fishing. I have recently gotten back into reel fishing but the passion for flies I will never shake. I am not a purist by any means, but I love to use dry flies. Not a huge fan of Bamboo rods, but wouldn't turn one down if I could afford them!!

Catching fish is as incidental to fishing as making babies is to #$%&ing. ~William Humphrey
